z/OS installation overview

Since the code modules on z/OS require multiple components in both the mainframe and distributed environment, the installation process is more complex compared to 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:

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

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