Use the toolkit to deploy to the IBM® z/OS® platform.
Before you begin
Deploying to the
IBM z/OS platform is similar to deploying to other platforms. Create an application, components,
environments, and resources. Import versions of artifacts to the components, and then create
an application process that deploys the components to a target environment. When you create a
component for
z/OS artifacts, select
z/OS as the component type.
Versions can be imported to a z/OS component by
using the zOS File source configuration plug-in or by using the buztool
command line from an z/OS agent.
Procedure
- Install the z/OS agent.
- Create a ship list file. See Ship list files.
- Create a deployable component version. See Creating z/OS component versions.
- Create component processes and application processes as you would for any other deployment, by
using the z/OS Utility plug-in for process steps that retrieve and deploy z/OS artifacts. For example, use Download Artifacts for z/OS process steps to retrieve
z/OS artifacts. Use the Deploy Data Set process step to deploy z/OS data sets and HFS files. The z/OS Utility plug-in also includes process steps for rolling back data sets, for running commands from
the time sharing option (TSO) command line, and for running ISPF commands. To learn more about the
z/OS Utility plug-in, see the IBM UrbanCode™ Deploy
plug-in site. It is also recommended to create component using the MVSCOMPONENT template
which has built-in deploy processes.
