Install the emulator directly on the target environment

ZD&T EE v12 offers only one installation method to deploy the ZD&T emulator, that is via ZD&T EE Web Tools. The installation methods should include direct and command line install in the target environment. Note that this installation option is already available for ZD&T PE.

    Dear Development team, please also consider the following for this RFE.
    As another add-on, on top to this RFE, it could be useful to allow Install and Update from Web Tool to a Target Linux Instance of the ZD&E Emulator, without copying the z/OS disks from any source and without changing any target instance configuration.
