COZLNCH failing

Hi

I am running zos1.9. I set up the Cozproc and when I start it goes
down on RC=101. The only thing I get is the following:

CoZLauncherÝN¨: version: 1.1.0 2008-10-20
CoZLauncherÝN¨: Copyright (C) Dovetailed Technologies, LLC. 2006. All rights reserved.
PropertiesÝE¨: No target-user property found

I searched the knowledge base and found nothing to go on.
Any ideas where to start?

Thanks

Mike

It looks like you are not specifying the target userid (and host) where you want to launch an SSH connection.

For example:

// EXEC COZPROC,ARGS='userid@host'
//STDIN DD *
# shell script to run on remote system
env
//

I guess I am a little confused. Is the Cozproc similar to SSHD server that runs?

COZPROC is a "client" tool that uses the ssh client to start a process on a remote system. You don't need to run SSHD on z/OS to use it, but you need to have the ssh client (from IBM's Ported Tools / OpenSSH).

Dovetail.
Thanks for responding quickly. In the samp library I see the BPXBATCH replacement(DTLSPAWN) which is mostly what I use today. However I also run SSHD server on ZOS to log into with SSH. Which member would I tailor to be the server?

Thanks

Mike

The Co:Z Toolkit has several components:

1) DTLSPAWN - a better replacement for BPXBATCH

2) COZLNCH (proc COZPROC) - a client for launching remote processes which are controlled by z/OS and which can reach back and access datasets

3) Co:Z SFTP client - the "cozsftp" command, an enhanced alternative to the "sftp" client command from IBM Ported Tools/OpenSSH

4) Co:Z SFTP server - an enhanced alternative to the "sftp-server" from IBM Ported Tools/OpenSSH. To use this you need to follow the provided instructions for modifying your sshd configuration file.

5) Dataset Pipes - "todsn" and "fromdsn" Unix commands which are handy for accessing z/OS datasets from z/OS Unix (and remotely via SSH and Co:Z Launcher)

So, that's a general idea of what is included. I'm not sure what you need
