z/OS installation overview

Since the code modules on z/OS require multiple components in both the mainframe environment and open systems, the installation process is more complex than the standard OneAgent installation. However, with a bit of planning and coordination with the varied architecture groups, the installation of the code modules can go smoothly.

Efficient code module installation on z/OS is typically a team effort involving the following:

• Open Systems Administrator—Installs the zRemote module.
• Mainframe Systems Programmer—Downloads and installs the Dynatrace product datasets for z/OS.
• Mainframe Security Administrator—Sets up security for the zDC subsystem.
• Mainframe Systems Programmer—Installs the code modules in each of the regions to be monitored.

Depending on your team, a single individual may be able to administer more than one of the required tasks.
