EmailServer data sets reference
Zowe includes a number of files that are stored in the various data sets. See the following tables for the storage requirements and purposes.
Runtime data sets
The following data sets comprise the runtime, read-only data set content that can be used by multiple Zowe instances of the same version. These are either delivered by an SMP/E install, or by running zwe install when using the z/OS convenience build of the Zowe servers.
