Welcome to the zPDT_Stuff wiki!

These utilities are run from the Linux host where zPDT emulation code is running. These utilities are not fully compatible with emulated environments where z/OS is running as a guest in z/VM. In such environments you should use the -m option (for manual processing and take appropriate actions)

These are the Utilities included in this Repo:

  1. zdtVcreate - Create a zPDT emulated Disk File for attaching to z/OS emulated systems, and automatically initialize & mount to z/OS. Supports both SMS and Non-SMS volume creation and standard sizes up to Mod 54.

  2. zdtVresize - Enlarge an existing zPDT emulated Disk File, up to standard Mod 54 size.

  3. zdtmsg - send messages to z/OS console and get responses to your command. Great when you've logged off the User that started the emulator and oprmsg no longer gives you respones.

  4. stopZos - Shutdown z/OS operating system. For ADCD there are no required parameters.

  5. zdtpdsu - pdsUtil wrapper.

The mod?stub files are binary.

The zdtPyApi module contains several functions used by the above Utilites. It is not executed explicitly.

These utilities require Python 3.3 or greater.
