- 2. IBM Design :: ©2017 IBM Corporation The IBM z/OS Provisioning Toolkit is a simple command line utility for the rapid provisioning of z/OS development environments. System programmers can easily manage the provisioning process by preconfiguring the environments using z/OSMF workflows Application developers can provision and deprovision z/OS applications in minutes, without requiring any z/OS specific administration skills. Uses IBM Cloud Provisioning and Management for z/OS to control developer access and set appropriate provisioning limits. The toolkit is fully supported and available now to all z/OS V2 clients at no additional charge. Overview
- 3. IBM Design :: ©2017 IBM Corporation Customise the included z/OSMF workflows to dynamically provision a CICS region (workflows for provisioning an MQ queue manager are included with the product). Use the zospt command line utility to build, run, and manage applications, driving the workflows to provision the required middleware environment. Follow example scripts for building applications including traditional CICS, CICS Liberty and embedded z/OS Connect EE. Description
