Deploying to the z/OS platform

Use the toolkit to deploy to the IBM® z/OS® platform.

Before you begin

Create an application, add components to it, and create an application process that deploys the components. When you create a component for z/OS artifacts, select z/OS as the component type.

Procedure

  1. Install the z/OS deployment tools. See Installing the z/OS deployment tools.
  2. Configure the ISPF gateway. See Configuring the ISPF gateway.
  3. Create a ship list file. See Ship list files.
  4. Create a deployable component version. See Creating z/OS component versions.
  5. 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 the Copy Artifacts or FTP Artifacts process steps to retrieve z/OS artifacts instead of the Download Artifacts step that you use for other types of artifacts. Use the Deploy Data Set process step to deploy z/OS artifacts. 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.
