Adding source environments
Source environments are configured to create components or images that are used to provision instances to target environments for development and testing.
The following source environment types are supported:
- Extract z/OS instance on IBM Z
- This environment type supports component creation by extracting, compressing, and transferring artifacts from an existing z/OS® environment on IBM Z®.
- Copy z/OS instance run by On-Demand Environments
- Supports faster component creation by compressing and transferring an existing z/OS instance that runs on a ZD&T, ZVDT, or On-Demand Environments.
Notes:
- For z/OS on IBM Z physical hardware source environments that are added, you can add, edit, or delete existing source systems. However, a source environment cannot be deleted if components created from this source environment exist.
- If you want to set up source environments from either Extract or Copy z/OS instances on IBM Z to extract and provision the necessary volumes or data sets, the rdzutconfig_prereq_ee.html#rdzutconfig_prereq_ee__zos_prerequisites must be met.
