Installing the OCEP code

OCEP provides an installation script, called ocep_install, that installs the OCEP code and registers the service provider modules with the OCSF Framework. You must run the OCEP installation script from a z/OS UNIX shell session. IBM recommends that the script be run from a superuser, which is a user ID that has been defined with a UID of 0.

To install the OCEP service provider modules, perform the following steps:
  1. Ensure that OCSF has been properly installed on your system by running the install verification procedure (IVP), ocsf_baseivp.

    For more information about installing OCSF and running the verification procedure, see z/OS Open Cryptographic Services Facility Application Programming.

  2. Go to the directory where OCEP is installed, for example:
    cd /usr/lpp/ocsf/bin
  3. Run the OCEP installation script:
    ocep_install
    You will receive the following output:
    Installing IBMOCEPTP...
    Addin successfully installed.
    Installing IBMOCEPDL...
    Addin successfully installed.
