First Use of Basic PlateSpin
Orchestrate Components
After you install and configure the basic components of PlateSpin
®
Orchestrate from Novell
®
, (that
is, the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server, the PlateSpin Orchestrate Agent, and the PlateSpin Orchestrate
Clients), you will want to see them at work. The information in this section is organized sequentially
(that is, in a “walkthrough” scenario) so that you can follow the process an administrator might use
to begin applying PlateSpin Orchestrate capabilities in a production environment.

The first three subsections listed above are basic tasks you need to perform to make the PlateSpin
Orchestrate system perform at a basic level. The other sections include information to help you
understand how the PlateSpin Orchestrate system can work in your production environment.
For information about the first use of PlateSpin Orchestrate VM Client components, see “ Overview ”
in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 VM Client Guide and Reference .
3.1 Walkthrough: Launching the PlateSpin
Orchestrate Development Client
This section assumes that you have installed all of the basic PlateSpin Orchestrate components,
including the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server, the PlateSpin Orchestrate Agent, and the PlateSpin
Orchestrate Clients. For more information about installation, see
Chapter 2, “Installation and
Configuration,” on page 21 .
The installation of the Orchestrate Clients actually installs four separate subcomponents: the
PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client, the zos command line interface, the zosadmin command
line interface, and the Java SDK (toolkit) for PlateSpin Orchestrate. The Development Client and
the command line interfaces (CLIs) constitute the clients for the product. You can use them to
troubleshoot, initiate, change, or shut down server functions for PlateSpin Orchestrate and its
computing resources. For more information about installing these clients, see
Section 2.3,
“Installing the Orchestrate Agent Only,” on page 45 .
