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.
Note
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
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.Z
For example: sb-7.2.0.0-zos.tar.Z
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.Z
For example: sb-7.2.0.0-zos-EXP.tar.Z
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.zip
sb-Version.Release.Modification Level.Maintenance Level-operating system-EXP.zip
For example:
sb-7.2.0.0-zos.zip
sb-7.2.0.0-zos-EXP.zip
