Agent Technology Requirements

Agent Technology has the following installation requirements:

• An IBM supported z/OS version.
• UNIX System Services (also known as OpenEdition or OMVS) in full‑function mode and zFS physical file system implemented.
• Any supported version of TCP/IP.
• Any supported version of IBM C/C++ for z/OS if you are using the example agent or writing your own custom agents.
• Disk space: (RO and RW zFSs) approximately 60 cylinders.
• Security definitions permitting a new Agent Technology user to be created.

The following lists the minimum storage requirements for each Agent Technology distribution library and does not necessarily represent the actual distribution library allocation that is provided during the installation. Data set allocation JCL and (MSM) XML contains a block size of 0 for FB data sets with a LRECL of 80. This change was made in order to follow both IBM’s SMP/E packaging standards, and CA’s packaging standards. Specifying BLKSIZE=0 will allow your system to choose the most efficient block size for these data sets.
