Downloading archive images from the z/OS platform to a distributed platform

Follow these steps to set up either JDBC or WebSphere Application Clients on a distributed platform workstation.

Before you begin

The product tape for the WebSphere Application Server product that runs on z/OS includes image archives for the following functions that can be run on a distributed platform:

Procedure

  1. Create a directory on the workstation or server where you want to install the image archive files for WebSphere Application Client or Data Direct Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers for Microsoft Windows platforms.
  2. For example, on the z/OS HFS containing the WebSphere Application Server product, locate the WebSphere Application Client image archive files.

    The image archives for each supported platform are contained in the following directory on the HFS.

    usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V6R0/downloads2...
    .../platform
         /zdownloads.inst.cd.image.part1.for_platform.archive-ending(s))  
         /zdownloads.inst.cd.image.part2.for_platform.archive-ending(s))  

    There are two install image archives for each supported platform. Each pair of install images archives includes that includes the WebSphere Application Client archive files for that platform. The install image archives also contain the Data Direct Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers for Microsoft Windows platforms.

    Both install image archives must be downloaded to the same directory on the distributed platform.

  3. Use FTP or some other process to download the two image archives to the distributed platform. These files are in binary format and must be downloaded in that format.
  4. Archive and expand both of the files into the directory you created in Step 1.

Results

See Installing Application Client for WebSphere Application Server for a description of how to install the Application Client on the distributed platform.
