zowe plugins install [plugin...] [options]
Positional Arguments
plugin...
(string)
A space-separated list of plug-ins to install. A plug-in can be any format
that is accepted by the `npm install` command (local directory, TAR file, git
URL, public package, private package, etc...).
To use a relative local directory, at least one '/' or '' must exist in the
plug-in path. For example, you have a local plug-in in a folder called
'test-plugin' that you want to install. Specify the relative local directory
by issuing the following command:
zowe plugins install ./test-plugin
If you omit the './', then the install command looks for 'test-plugin' in an
npm registry.
If the plugin argument is omitted, the plugins.json file will determine which
plug-ins are installed. For more information on the plugins.json file, see
the --file option.
Options
--file
(local file path)
Specifies the location of a plugins.json file that contains the plug-ins you
want to install.
All plug-ins specified in plugins.json will be installed to the base CLI and
the contents will be placed into ~/.zowe/plugins/plugins.json.
If you do not specify a plugins.json file and do not specify a plug-in, the
default plugin.json file (~/.zowe/plugins/plugins.json) will be
used. This provides a way to install plug-ins that were lost or corrupted
after reinstalling or updating Zowe CLI.
--registry

Interact with z/OSMF console services. Issue z/OS console commands and collect
responses. z/OS console services establishes extended MCS (EMCS) consoles on
behalf of the user, which are used to issue the commands and collect responses.
Important! Before you use commands in the zos-console command group, ensure
that you understand the implications of issuing z/OS console commands in your
environment.
z/OSMF console services provides a command response key upon successful issue of
a console command. You can use this key to collect additional console message
responses.
The z/OSMF console REST APIs return a "solicited response key" after
successfully issuing a synchronous console command that produces solicited
responses. You can use the "solicited response key"on the "sync-responses"
command to collect any additional outstanding solicited responses from the
console the command was issued.
In general, when issuing a z/OS console command, z/OS applications route
responses to the originating console. The command response messages are
referred to as "solicited command responses" (i.e. direct responses to the
command issued). When issuing a z/OS console command using Zowe CLI, collection
of all solicited command responses is attempted by default. However, there is
no z/OS mechanism that indicates the total number of response messages that may
be produced from a given command. Therefore, the Zowe CLI console APIs return a
"solicited response key" that can be used to "follow-up" and collect any
additional solicited command responses.
Usage
zowe zos-console collect sync-responses <responsekey> [options]
Positional Arguments
responsekey
(string)
- The "solicited response key" provided in response to a previously issued console
command. Used by the z/OSMF console API to collect any additional outstanding
solicited responses from a previously issued console command. Must match
regular expression:
^\[a\-zA\-Z0\-9\]\+$

Examples
Issue z/OS console commands and optionally collect responses.
Issue a z/OS console command and print command responses (known as "solicited
command responses").
In general, when issuing a z/OS console command, z/OS applications route
responses to the originating console. The command response messages are
referred to as "solicited command responses" (i.e. direct responses to the
command issued). When issuing a z/OS console command using Zowe CLI, collection
of all solicited command responses is attempted by default. However, there is
no z/OS mechanism that indicates the total number of response messages that may
be produced from a given command. Therefore, the Zowe CLI console APIs return a
"solicited response key" that can be used to "follow-up" and collect any
additional solicited command responses.
Zowe CLI will issue "follow-up" API requests by default to collect any
additional outstanding solicited command responses until a request returns no
additional responses. At that time, Zowe CLI will attempt a final collection
attempt. If no messages are present, the command is complete. If additional
messages are present, the process is repeated. However, this does not guarantee
that all messages produced in direct response (i.e. solicited) have been
collected. The z/OS application may produce additional messages in direct
response to your command at some point in the future. You can manually collect
additional responses using the "command response key" OR specify additional
processing options to, for example, delay collection attempts by a specified
interval.
Usage
zowe zos-console issue command <commandtext> [options]
Positional Arguments
commandtext
(string)
- The z/OS console command to issue
Options
--console-name
| --cn
| -c
(string)
The name of the z/OS extended MCS console to direct the command. You must have
the required authority to access the console specified. You may also specify an
arbitrary name, if your installation allows dynamic creation of consoles with
arbitrary names.
Allowed values: ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$
--include-details

the "command response key" and the z/OSMF command response URL.
--key-only
| --ko
| -k
(boolean)
- Displays only the "command response key" returned from the z/OSMF console API.
You can collect additional messages using the command key with 'zowe
zos-console collect sync-responses <key>'. Note that when using this option,
you will not be presented with the "first set" of command response messages (if
present in the API response). However, you can view them by using the
--response-format-json option.
--return-first
| --rf
| -r
(boolean)
- Indicates that Zowe CLI should return immediately with the response message set
returned in the first z/OSMF API request (even if no responses are present).
Using this option may result in partial or no response, but quicker Zowe CLI
command response time. The z/OSMF console API has an implicit wait when
collecting the first set of console command responses, i.e you will normally
receive at least one set of response messages.
--solicited-keyword
| --sk
| -s
(string)
- For solicited responses (direct command responses) the response is considered
complete if the keyword specified is present. If the keyword is detected, the
command will immediately return, meaning the full command response may not be
provided. The key only applies to the first request issued, follow up requests
do not support searching for the keyword.
--sysplex-system

- Specifies the z/OS system (LPAR) in the current SYSPLEX (where your target
z/OSMF resides) to route the z/OS console command.
--wait-to-collect
| --wtc
| -w
(number)
- Indicates that Zowe CLI wait at least the specified number of seconds before

Examples
Upload a local directory to a USS directory.
An optional .zosattributes file in the source directory can be used to control
file conversion and tagging.
An example .zosattributes file:
# pattern local-encoding remote-encoding
# Don't upload the node_modules directory
.* -
*.jpg binary binary
# Convert CICS Node.js profiles to EBCDIC
*.profile ISO8859-1 EBCDIC
Lines starting with the ‘#’ character are comments. Each line can specify up
to three positional attributes:
- A pattern to match a set of files. Pattern-matching syntax follows
the same rules as those that apply in .gitignore files (note that negated
patterns that begin with ‘!’ are not supported). See
https://git\-scm\.com/docs/gitignore\#\_pattern\_format\.
- A local-encoding to identify a file’s encoding on the local
workstation. If '-' is specified for local-encoding,files that match the
pattern are not transferred.
- A remote-encoding to specify the file’s desired character set on
USS. This attribute must either match the local encoding or be set to EBCDIC.
If set to EBCDIC, files are transferred in text mode and converted, otherwise
they are transferred in binary mode. Remote files are tagged either with the
remote encoding or as binary.
Due to a z/OSMF limitation, files that are transferred in text mode are
converted to the default EBCDIC code page on the z/OS system. Therefore the
only EBCDIC code page to specify as the remote encoding is the default code page
for your system.
A .zosattributes file can either be placed in the top-level directory you want
to upload, or its location can be specified by using the --attributes
parameter. .zosattributes files that are placed in nested directories are
ignored.
Usage
zowe zos-files upload dir-to-uss <inputDir> <USSDir> [options]
Positional Arguments
inputDir
(string)
- The local directory path that you want to upload to a USS directory
USSDir
(string)

delimiters are added between records.
--recursive
| -r
(boolean)
- Upload all directories recursively.
--binary-files
| --bf
(string)
- Comma separated list of file names to be uploaded in binary mode. Use this
option when you upload a directory in default ASCII mode, but you want to
specify certain files to be uploaded in binary mode. All files matching
specified file names will be uploaded in binary mode. If a .zosattributes file
(or equivalent file specified via --attributes) is present, --binary-files
will be ignored.
--ascii-files
| --af
(string)
- Comma separated list of file names to be uploaded in ASCII mode. Use this
option when you upload a directory with --binary/-b flag, but you want to
specify certain files to be uploaded in ASCII mode. All files matching

(number)
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent z/OSMF REST API requests to upload
files. Increasing the value results in faster uploads. However, increasing the
value increases resource consumption on z/OS and can be prone to errors caused
by making too many concurrent requests. If the upload process encounters an
error, the following message displays:
The maximum number of TSO address spaces have been created. When you specify 0,
Zowe CLI attempts to upload all members at once without a maximum number of
concurrent requests.
