Installation

The Ant zip file can be obtained from Apache and extracted to a folder on your machine as follows:

• Place the Ant zip file into the z/OS UNIX System Services file system (e.g. /usr/local) and process the file; e.g.:

  cd /usr/local
  jar -xf apache-ant-<version>-bin.zip

  Where "<version>" represents the appropriate version identified in the Cúram v6.0 Supported Prerequisites document.

• Ensure the Ant script in apache-ant-<version>/bin is:
  • In EBCDIC format; e.g.:

    iconv -t IBM-1047 -f ISO8859-1 apache-ant-<version>/bin/ant \
      > /tmp/ant
    mv /tmp/ant apache-ant-<version>/bin

  • Executable; e.g.:

    chmod a+x apache-ant-<version>/bin/*
