EmailServer Datasets 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 Datasets
The following datasets comprise the runtime, read-only dataset 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.
