Importing prepackaged z/OS skills

The prepackaged skills are required to complete various tasks on z/OSMF such as running different console commands and retrieving logs from batch jobs.

About this task

You can import the prepackaged skills by uploading the JSON file to Skill Studio in watsonx Assistant for Z.

Procedure

  1. Download the JSON file that contains the prepackaged z/OS skills from Passport Advantage.
  2. Enter the URL of your z/OSMF system in the url field.
    "servers": [
        {
          "url": "<your z/OSMF URL>"
        }
      ],
    After you import the skills, they appear under Skill Catalog of the “z/OS operations” app.
  3. Define the app information in the info section.
    "info": {
    "description": "z/OS operations",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "title": "IBM watsonX Assistant for Z skills pak",
    "x-ibm-annotations": "1.0.0",
    "x-ibm-application-name": "z/OS operations",
    "x-ibm-application-icon": "",
    "x-ibm-application-id": "zos-operations",
    ...
    }
    Note: In watsonx Orchestrate, each app is associated with a single URL. Therefore, you need to import the skills into a different app.
  4. Update the URL and modify the following fields to import the skills into a different app.
    "title": "IBM watsonX Assistant for Z skills pak",
    "x-ibm-application-name": "z/OS operations",
    "x-ibm-application-id": "zos-operations"
    Example:
    "title": "IBM watsonX Assistant for Z skills pak - server2",
    "x-ibm-application-name": "z/OS operations - server2",
    "x-ibm-application-id": "zos-operations-server2",
    After you configure the app information and server URL into the JSON file, use the file to import the skills. See Building skills from files.
