This section explains how to install the Co:Z Toolkit on z/OS. Once the toolkit is installed, individual components can be configured for use. For component configuration details, consult the user's guides (referenced in Chapter 1, Introduction).
For questions, please visit the Dovetailed Technologies Co:Z Forum
Download the Co:Z z/OS self-extracting installer file (download available from coztoolkit.com).
Upload
cksum coz-vv.rr.mml.bin
file to the z/OS zFS file system. Make sure you transfer the file with a binary mode transfer option.Verify that the cksum command (
cksum coz-vv.rr.mml.bin
) results match the checksum values provided.The installation script requires a small amount of temporary space to run successfully. Ensure that your
/tmp
file system is not full.The installing userid should be either UID=0 or have BPX.SUPERUSER authority or have both BPX.FILEATTR.APF and BPX.FILEATTR.PROGCTL authority. These permissions are required in order to enable APF authorization on the
ssh-socket-info
utility and to mark Co:Z SFTP programs as program controlled. If these permissions are not available during installation, the product will still install but may not work properly if SMF recording is enabled. See the Enabling SMF recording section in the Co:Z SFTP User's Guide for additional information.Make the installer file executable:
$
chmod +x coz-vv.rr.mml.bin
Run the installer:
$
./coz-vv.rr.mml.bin

Review the @@README member of the PDS containing Co:Z Sample JCL and PROCS. Review the following component specific members ensuring that they have been correctly tailored for your configuration by the installation process:
Co:Z Launcher and Dataset Pipes: COZPROC and COZCFGD
The RUNLNCH, RUNLNCHK, and RUNLNCHP are basic Co:Z Launcher samples using different authentication methods. Additional examples can be found in the User's Guide.
Co:Z SFTP: SFTPPROC and SFTPIND
While other samples are provided, the SFTPSAMP member contains sample JCL for the perferred method of using the Co:Z SFTP client in batch. These samples use the Co:Z SFTP batch scripts installed in
<COZ_HOME>/samples/sftp_batch
. See Using the Co:Z SFTP client in batch in the User's Guide for additional information.
For additional configuration and usage information, refer to the indiviual component User's Guides:
Note | |
---|---|
These steps are required only if you wish to use POSIX as a Target system for the Co:Z Launcher or the Dataset Pipes commands remotely. You do not need to install Co:Z on a remote system in order to use Co:Z SFTP. |
Most Linux and Unix distributions include OpenSSH. Follow the instructions for your operating system for installing and configuring the OpenSSH server (sshd) on your system.
Test logging into
ssh
locallylinux$
ssh <userid>@localhost
The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is cc:7c:3d:b5:3e:43:5a:6f:12:e2:1a:af:80:45:ae:fa. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?yes
Warning: Permanently added 'localhost' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. <userid>@localhost's password:******
linux$logout
Connection to localhost closed.Test Linux ssh from z/OS:
Repeat the above test from your z/OS userid to confirm that there are no firewall issues.
ZOS$
ssh -p <port> <userid>@linux_host
