z/OS Installation - Distribution File
z/OS Distribution File
The Universal Agent for z/OS product distribution file contains all of the files required for the installation of the Universal Agent for z/OS package.
Obtaining the Distribution File
To obtain the Universal Agent for z/OS package, download the corresponding product distribution file from the Stonebranch Customer Portal.
A customer user name and password - provided by Stonebranch, Inc. - are required to access this area.
If you are installing a Cumulative PTF Maintenance to a Universal Agent for z/OS installation, you must download the z/OS PTFs package from the Stonebranch Customer Portal.
Distribution File Format
The z/OS Installation's distribution file is available in two formats:
- Compressed archive
- Compressed .zip file
The contents of both files are the same. The different formats are provided for flexibility.
Compressed Archive
Two different compressed archive distribution files are provided.
One version contains a DFDSS backup of the SMP/E install datasets. The distribution file is a compressed TAR file that contains that backup in TSO TRANSMIT format along with supporting files used to upload and receive the backup.
This file uses the following naming convention:
sb-Version.Release.Modification Level.Maintenance Level-operating system.tar.gz
For example: sb-8.0.0.0-zos.tar.gz
The other version is intended for users who do not use DFDSS. It also is provided for users with RACF restrictions that prohibit restoring the SBI.** datasets contained in the DFDSS backup. The expanded contents in the TAR file provided by this distribution file contains each of the SMP/E install datasets in TSO TRANSMIT format. Each dataset can be allocated and uploaded using the sample UNVFTP.TXT. The JCL provided in UNVRECV.JCL demonstrates how to perform a TSO RECEIVE on each of the uploaded datasets.
This file uses the following naming convention:
sb-Version.Release.Modification Level.Maintenance Level-zos-EXP.tar.gz
For example: sb-8.0.0.0-zos-EXP.tar.gz
ZIP Archive
The ZIP versions of the z/OS Universal Agent distribution files have the same contents as their compressed archive counterparts and use the following naming convention:
sb-Version.Release.Modification Level.Maintenance Level-operating system.zipsb-Version.Release.Modification Level.Maintenance Level-operating system-EXP.zip
For example:
sb-8.0.0.0-zos.zipsb-8.0.0.0-zos-EXP.zip
