Packaging the Cúram Runtime for Installation on z/OS

After you have built the .ear files you must package them and the runtime environment for installation on z/OS.

For example, on Windows (with your environment setup as per the Cúram Deployment Guide for WebSphere Application Server) enter the following commands:

cd %SERVER_DIR%
build release
jar -cf release.zip release

You must then FTP or copy the release.zip file to your target z/OS filesystem location.

To unzip the release.zip file on z/OS you should establish two environment variables in your z/OS UNIX System Services shell environment for this task and subsequent tasks:

Table 1. Environment Variables for z/OS UNIX System Services
Environment Variable Value
SERVER_DIR represents the location you will unzip the release.zip into; e.g.: /curam/release.
CURAMSDEJ represents the directory for running build scripts: $CuramSDEJ.

With the release.zip on your z/OS system, in your shell environment enter the following commands to unzip it:

mkdir -p $SERVER_DIR
cd $SERVER_DIR/..
jar -xf <from FTPed location>/release.zip
