The Co:Z Co-Processing Toolkit for z/OS consists of the following components:
Co:Z SFTP: OpenSSH SFTP extended to support Datasets, SMF logging, FTP compatible user exits, and SAF/RACF Digital Certificate authentication. See the Co:Z SFTP User's Guide.
Co:Z Batch: An improved replacement for BPXBATCH. This utility is often used in conjunction with Co:Z Dataset Pipes, Co:Z z/OS Utilities or Co:Z SFTP. See the Co:Z Batch User's Guide.
Co:Z Dataset Pipes: The Dataset Pipes commands provide flexible conversion between z/OS data sets and byte streams. These commands may be used locally or over an ssh connection. See the Co:Z Dataset Pipes User's Guide.
Co:Z Launcher: The Launcher is a batch utility which remotely launches a process on a distributed system, redirecting input and output from that process to traditional z/OS datasets or spool files. Remote processes are securely launched using proven SSH (Secure Shell) technology to the target platform, which may be Linux, AIX, or other Unix/POSIX environments. See the Co:Z Launcher User's Guide.
Co:Z z/OS Utilities: The Co:Z z/OS Utilities are z/OS Unix System Services commands that can be used to access a variety of z/OS artifacts and services. See the Co:Z z/OS Utilities User's Guide.

The Target system toolkit is only required by the Co:Z Launcher and/or remote Dataset Pipes components. All other toolkit components (e.g. Co:Z SFTP) run on z/OS and do not require target system toolkit installation. |
The Co:Z Target System Toolkit is supported on a wide variety of distributed platforms, including Linux, AIX, and other Unix/Posix platforms.
