Meister for z/OS Build Types

 

Build Type indicates which development tool should be used to create your Target.  Select a Build Type to be associated with your Target.  This selection determines how your Target is created, including the compile flags to be used.  Build Types and Rules are set up by the Build Administrator.  If the Build Type you need is not available, contact your Administrator. The Administrator can create new Build Types, or modify the compile flags associated with any particular Build Type.   The Build Type is a required field.

 

Build Types specific to the standard mainframe compiles come as part of the standard installation.  In some cases, these Build Types may need to be modified to suit your particular installation data set names.  

 

Following is a description of the z/OS Build Types:
