Installing DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS

The product code for DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM® WebSphere Application Server for z/OS® Version 8.5 is installed using IBM Installation Manager.

Before you begin

Note:

Starting in version 8.5.5.14, Java SE 8 is the default Java. When updating to 8.5.5.14, any existing profile that uses Java SDK 6 is replaced by Java SDK 8. You can continue to use Java SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 and Version 7.1, but no service can be provided after the end of support in July 2022, which could expose your environment to security risks. For more information about end of service for Java SE 6, 7, and 7.1, see Java SE 6, 7, and 7.1 end of service in WebSphere Application Server V8.5..
The com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v80 offering has been deprecated, and no fix packs or interim fixes will be provided for this offering after March 2020. If this offering is installed, uninstall it and switch to the default Java SE 8 SDK provided by the WebSphere Application Server package in the same package group. With the default Java SE 8 SDK, you continue receiving Java SE 8 SDK support, including security updates.

Decide whether to use a standard install (Installation Manager metadata for all products kept in one location) or a portable install (Installation Manager metadata for each product kept with the product).

You will need these items:

An Installation Manager install kit. See Obtaining an Installation Manager installation kit for installing the product on z/OS.
The Installation Manager sample jobs for z/OS. These are shipped with no-charge product 5655-IMZ (FMID HGIN140) in the SGINJCL library. You can also download a current version of the sample jobs here.
