These are the steps for binding the Data Base Request Module (DBRM) that are common across the different IBM Transformation Extender features.
Additional configuration on UNIX System Services (USS)
To use IBM Transformation Extender features in your USS environments, there are additional configuration activities that you might need to do.
Preserving the encoding of XML files
To preserve the encoding of XML files that were created on an ASCII platform, transfer the files (including files such as the Resource Registry .mrc and .mrn files) in BINARY mode (for example, by using FTP or IND$FILE). Note that ASCII files that are transferred in BINARY mode are still ASCII-encoded, and therefore are not readable on the mainframe platform.
Support for Getting Started Sub-capacity Pricing (GSSP)
All IBM Transformation Extender runtime environments on z/OS systems support Getting Started Sub-capacity Pricing (GSSP).
Support for z/OS XML System Services processing
The IBM Steling Transformation Extender for z/OS Batch, API, IMS, and CICS can use z/OS XML System Services to parse and, optionally, validate XML documents.
