Integrating Cloud Objects in Your Batch Processing

The DFSMS utility, GDKUTIL, provides a method to easily retrieve objects from Cloud Object Storage, as well as store objects in Cloud Object Storage from your Batch JCL jobs, using Cloud Data Access (CDA). This session will go over the GDKUTIL utility functions and usage as well as setup and configuration of CDA in the z/OS environment, needed to successfully use the utility. Details such as importing the Root Certificate Authority (CA) certificates, configuring the CSFKEYS class to protect encryption keys, and storage of the cloud credentials will be covered in this session.
