Creating z/OS component versions#
You can create z/OS component version by running the buztool.sh command from job control language (JCL) or from the z/OS® UNIX™ System Services command line. You can also create z/OS component version by using the z/OS File Source Config plug-in.
In an automated system, typically, you write a script that runs the buztool.sh command after a build is created by your build system. The buztool.sh command then creates a component version which can be deployed using a deploy process.
You can work with the component that contains z/OS files as you would work with any other component in UrbanCode™ Deploy. Use the z/OS Utility plug-in to create processes that deploy components that contain z/OS files. See the UrbanCode Deploy website for information about the z/OS Utility plug-in: Plugins & Integrations.
- Creating z/OS component versions from JCL
To create IBM® z/OS component versions from job control language (JCL), create and submit JCL to run the buztool.sh command. - Creating z/OS component versions from z/OS UNIX System Services
To create IBM® z/OS component versions from z/OS UNIX System Services, submit the buztool.sh command from a z/OS UNIX shell. - Merging z/OS component versions
Two or more z/OS component versions can be merged from a snapshot into one component version to simplify the deployment to the next environment. Merging component versions in this way avoids deploying intermediate programs into production.
