This chapter outlines the tasks you must complete before you install DirectConnect for z/OS Option on UNIX platforms (HP 9000/800, HP Itanium, RISC/6000 AIX, Linux, and Sun Solaris) and on Windows platforms, in that order.
Most processes and information you need for UNIX and
Windows platforms are the same. However, information that differs between
UNIX and Windows platforms (such as hardware and software requirements)
is provided in separate subsections.
