If you have not yet done so, transfer the Tectia SSH Assistant application XMIT file and the Tectia Server for IBM z/OS product tar archive in binary mode to your z/OS system. For instructions, see Uploading Files Required for Installation.

On the z/OS host, receive the Tectia SSH Assistant data set via the following command (replace dataset.xmit with the actual name of the uploaded XMIT data set, if needed):

TSO RECEIVE INDSN(SSZASST.XMIT)

In response to the RECEIVE prompt, you may enter the usual parameters to control the creation of the received data set, or just press enter to take the defaults and create a data set called prefix.SSZASST.PDS.

Inside the restored data set you will find a Rexx script called $RECEIVE. EXEC the script to set up the application libraries:

TSO EXEC 'prefix.SSZASST.PDS($RECEIVE)'

(Alternatively, you can simply type EXEC next to $RECEIVE in a member list.)

This Rexx will prompt for the HLQ under which the application libraries are to be set up, as well as optional VOLSER, if needed.

Press Enter repeatedly to page through the command output.

The following libraries will be created, assuming default names:

The Tectia SSH Assistant application requires the Rexx runtime or Rexx alternate libraries to execute. The Rexx Alternate Library SEAGALT (for example, FAN140.SEAGALT or IBM.REXX.SEAGALT, etc.), which is shipped as part of z/OS since version 1.9, may be used to satisfy this requirement. Make sure that SEAGALT is available in the linklist or in a STEPLIB allocated to your TSO session.

The following message indicates that a suitable Rexx runtime was not found:

IRX0159E The run time processor EAGRTPRC is not available

To solve the issue, add a line to the appropriate PARMLIB(PROGxx) member such as:

LNKLST ADD NAME(LNKLST00) DSN(FAN140.SEAGALT) VOLUME(&SYSR1)

Set up the Tectia SSH Assistant application to be invoked. The simplest way to do this is to EXEC prefix.SSZASST.CEXEC(SSZ) directly, which will use LIBDEF to allocate the panel and skeleton libraries, assuming they share the same qualifiers as the Rexx library:

TSO EXEC 'prefix.SSZASST.CEXEC(SSZ)'

Alternatively, you can concatenate the libraries to the appropriate DDs in your TSO logon procedure, or copy their contents to allocated user ISPF data sets.
