Deploy the stock query service manually

Deploy the stock query service to the IBM® z/OS® Connect server by using the IBM z/OS Connect REST API. For more information about the IBM z/OS Connect REST API, see Deploy a service

Before you begin

Ensure that the following tasks are complete:

Procedure

  1. Enter the following command from the C:\DevOpsScenarios directory, replacing host and port with values that are appropriate for your IBM z/OS Connect server. 
    curl -i -k -X POST http://host:port/zosConnect/services --data-binary "@/DevOpsScenarios/stockQuery.sar" -H "Content-Type:application/zip"
    This command uses the following parameters:
    • -i gives more output
    • -k ignores any problems with self-signed TLS certificates.
    • -X defines the HTTP verb to use. POST in this case as you are creating a service.
    • --data-binary defines the path to stockQuery.sar.
    • -H defines a header to send to the service. In this case, you are indicating that you are sending a .zip file.
  2. Check the return code.
    If the command was successful, the return code is HTTP 201. Information about the deployed service is also displayed.
