Installing the bootstrap package on z/OS

The bootstrap package is installed on USS and then certain components are transferred and installed on MVS.

Although most shells can be used with MainView Middleware Monitor, many of the script files are written for the Korn shell.

Make sure the Bootstrap package has been copied to USS using FTP with binary mode as described in Using-Deployments-to-distribute-the-agent-and-extensions-packages.
