Install Managed File Transfer for z/OS

You install Managed File Transfer on your IBM MQ for z/OS® system by using SMP/E.


About this task

For information about licensing for Managed File Transfer for z/OS, see IBM MQ license information and IBM MQ for z/OS product identifiers.

Managed File Transfer for z/OS uses the standard z/OS installation procedure. It is supplied with a Program Directory that contains specific instructions for installing the program. You must follow the instructions in the appropriate Program Directory, which can be downloaded from the IBM Publications Center:

The instructions in the Program Directory include not only details of the installation process, but also information about the prerequisite products and their service or maintenance levels.

SMP/E, used for installation on the z/OS platform, validates the service levels and prerequisite and corequisite products, and maintains the SMP/E history records to record the installation of Managed File Transfer. The process loads the appropriate libraries and checks that the loads have been successful. You then have to customize the product to your own requirements.

Note: For Version 9.0, the supported versions of Java for Managed File Transfer for z/OS are Java 7 and Java 8.


Procedure

  1. Plan your installation. See Plan for Managed File Transfer for items you need to consider before installing the component.
  2. Install the product by following the instructions detailed in the Program Directory.
  3. Check that the SMP/E installation process has created the product JCL library USERID.MFTV800.SBFGCMDS. If this JCL library has not been created during the installation process, create the library and submit the job USERID.ZOS.JCL(COPYJCL1).
