Installing the z/OS® agent
Before you deploy to the IBM® z/OS® platform, you must install the z/OS® agent and configure the z/OS® server for communication with HCL Launch. If the build process runs on a different logical partition (LPAR), then you must additionally install the agent on the build LPAR. You can install the z/OS® agent and deployment tools by using the IBM® System Modification Program Extended (SMP/E) or by extracting archive files to the z/OS® UNIX™ file system.
Note: Beginning with version 6.2.4. the z/OS® deployment tools have become part of the z/OS® agent. The deployment tools no longer require a separate installation. If you are upgrading from
a version earlier than 6.2.4, see Upgrading IBM z/OS agents for
details about the changes.
