Driving system Wave 0 requirements

In Wave 0, you install the program management binder (part of the BCP), the HLASM base element, and the SMP/E base element. These items must be installed on (available from) the driving system for subsequent wave installations.

You can use either of the following as the driving system for installing Wave 0:
  • z/OS® V1R13 or later.
  • The Customized Offerings Driver V3 (5751-COD).

Wave 0 requires that the target system file system be mounted on the driving system because the code for the program management binder and SMP/E installs into that file system.
