You can upload the jobs associated with a z/OS customization
definition to partitioned datasets on a target z/OS system or export
them to a directory on the workstation where the Profile Management
Tool is running.
Before you begin
Create the customization definition for the jobs that you
want to upload to a target z/OS® system or export to the local
file system. Read Creating customization definitions for more
information.
Procedure
- Start the Profile Management Tool.
Read Starting the Profile Management Tool for more information.
- In the Customization Locations table, select the
location of the customization definition that you want to process.
- In the Customization Definitions table, select the
customization definition that you want to process.
- Click Process.
- On the Select Process Type panel, select the type
of processing that you want to perform on the customization definition.
- Upload to target z/OS system using FTP
Create the customization
jobs for the selected customization definition and upload them to
a z/OS system using FTP. This option requires an active FTP server
on the target z/OS system.
- Upload to target z/OS system using FTP over SSL
Create
the customization jobs for the selected customization definition and
upload them to a z/OS system using FTP over SSL. This option requires
an active FTP server on the target z/OS system that is configured
to use SSL with TLS authentication.
- Upload to target z/OS system using secure FTP
Create
the customization jobs for the selected customization definition and
upload them to a z/OS system using secure FTP. This option requires
an active SSH server on the target z/OS system.
- Export to local file system
Create the customization
jobs for the selected customization definition and export them to
the local file system.
Note: If the customization data have been previously exported
to the default directories, the customization jobs in these directories
will be uploaded to the target z/OS system when either of the upload
options are performed.
- Click Next.

Tip: You should not specify an alternate path for the export
directories if you might later want to edit any of the generated jobs
and then use the upload function to upload the updated jobs to the
target z/OS operating system. If you specify an alternate directory,
it will be up to you to get the batch jobs to the target z/OS operating
system.
