z/OS customization

After using SMP/E to install WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker for z/OS, all data is located inside the hierarchical file system (HFS). The diagram below gives an overview of the post-installation process.

The customization is performed by shell scripts, which are run in UNIX System Services. These scripts set up the runtime environment of your broker and User Name Server. The scripts also create JCL used by a broker or User Name Server, to create DB2 database definitions, WebSphere MQ message queues, and WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker definitions. One of these JCL files is required to start the broker or User Name Server. This JCL is run as a started task.
