Issue/Introduction

Description:

CA LDAP Server for z/OS r12 downloads to the pc and is then installed via a wizard on the pc that will then FTP the data to the mainframe for execution. If FTP or SFTP are not allowed, by site standards for the mainframe, can I use IND$FILE?

Solution:

If FTP and SFTP are not available to send data to the mainframe, the following steps can be followed to use IND$FILE from the PC to the mainframe.

• Allocate a dataset on MVS with the following attributes (LDAP.R12.JAR):
  
  
  1. ORG=PS
     
     
  2. RECFM=U
     
     
  3. LRECL=0
     
     
  4. BLKSIZE=6144
     
     
  5. INITIAL CYL allocation = 25
     
     
  6. Secondary cylinder allocation =5
     
     
• Get to TSO READY prompt.
  
  
• Use IND$FILE to upload the ldapinst.jar file, from the 25-CR1 directory of the original zip file, to the sequential dataset. For example use the Upload file option in QWS3270.
  
  
• Copy the file from the sequential dataset to USS.
  
  
• cp -ABCM "//'HLQ.LDAP.R12.JAR'" ldapinst.jar
  
  
• Set your PATH environment variable to include the Java bin directory.

For example: PATH=$PATH:/sys/java31bt/v6r0m0/usr/lpp/java/J6.0/bin

• Run the install using:

  java -jar ldapinst.jar -i console
