Installing the service archive files

z/OS® Connect API creation tools run outside z/OS® in an Eclipse environment. If you want to use the generic File Manager service archive files (fmService.sar, fmIMSService.sar, or fmDB2Service.sar) you must make them available to the Eclipse environments in which they will run. The SAR files must be copied to the relevant Eclipse environments, or to a network folder where the relevant Eclipse environments can access them.

The service archive files reside in the UNIX System Services directory where the pax archive was expanded. They must be copied in binary mode.
