Require Software Tools and Installation

List of required software to run zJenkins:

Rocket's port of Git

https://www.rocketsoftware.com/zos-open-source/tools

Git for z/OS requires the latest Rocket z/OS port of, bash, perl and unzip

Follow Rocket's installation guide to install the software

In the example, this software has been installed into /usr/lpp/tools/bin

Sample JCL is called zfsdefine.jcl and zfsDBB.jcl

Two zFS files were created, one for the DBB and one for ported Tools

Mount OMVS.USR.LPP.IBM.DBB to /usr/lpp/IBM/dbb

Mount OMVS.USR.LPP.TOOLS to /usr/lpp/tools

Create directories

/usr/lpp/tools/bin = bin for Tools

/usr/lpp/tools/CICS = CICS Scripts

/usr/lpp/tools/jenkins = Jenkins workspace

/usr/lpp/tools/lib = lib for Tools

/usr/lpp/tools/libexec = libexec for Tools

/usr/lpp/tools/man = man for Tools

/usr/lpp/tools/share = share for Tools

Other directories use in the sample

/usr/lpp/tools/appDev = Development first level deployment

/usr/lpp/tools/zos = Deployment directory for zJenkins code, conf and lib

/usr/lpp/tools/zos/conf = zJenkins configuration files

/usr/lpp/tools/zos/lib = zJenkins jar files

IBM's Dependency Based Build Software

Yes, DBB requires a purchase to run, but you can get the DBB host side classes

Follow Rocket's installation guide to install the software

DBB APIs are the core interface between Jenkins/Groovy and z/OS

Both options provide the host side DBB classes. However, for production you must purchase the software

With DBB host side classes, Apache Groovy is included

In the example, DBB has been installed into /usr/lpp/IBM/dbb and Groovy into /usr/lpp/IBM/dbb/groovy-2.4.12

/etc/profile

See the sample /etc/profile in /conf/etc.profile

DBB, Tools and Groovy are added to PATH, LIBPATH and CLASSPATH

PERL and GIT environment variables are also in the sample /etc/profile
