IBM z/OS directories and data sets#

To deploy applications to an IBM® z/OS® environment, the user accounts on the agent computer must have adequate access permissions. You must also identify specific directories and data sets to the authorized program facility.

The agent user account must have access to the following UNIX™ directories and files, and MVS™ data sets.

The access permissions are set up when you install the agent. If you use a different user account to run the agent, the access permissions must be set correctly for that account.

The agent/conf directory RW
The agent/var/work directory. RW
The agent/var/repository directory. The directory to store artifacts in CodeStation. R
