  • 1.  ZOWE CLI under USS

    Posted Sep 26, 2023 10:05 AM

    Background : We are exploring ways of ensuring that Automation scripts we are currently developing are platform agnostic. Currently we have ZOWE CLI installed under Windows - but really just for initial devt, but with the intention of deploying eventually on virtualised LINUX servers. We assumed that ZOWE CLI could not be deployed on USS , i.e. to allow z/OS to z/OS integration. 

    However ; the following links eludes to ZOWE CLI under USS.

    Question : Is it possible to deploy ZOWE CLI under USS and to issue ZOWE CLI commands from python running under z/OS - and to have those commands expose z/OS components on the same z/OS SYSPLEX?

    Hi John,

    From Zowe v2.11.x USer Guide, Zowe CLI is not supported on z/OS and is currently experimental. This is due to a limitation in IBM Db2 plug-in. You can find this information in the through the following url https://docs.zowe.org/stable/user-guide/systemrequirements-cli, Host-side requirements section.

    BR,
