Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store. ## Request new or enhanced Patterns on the ServiceNow® Store {#zOS-discovery__id_d51_3mx_qhc} Visit the [ServiceNow Store](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/application/06a71b1367e4130051c9027e2685ef1e/1.6.0?referer=/store/search?listingtype=allintegrations%253Bancillary_app%253Bcertified_apps%253Bcontent%253Bindustry_solution%253Boem%253Butility%253Btemplate&q=Patterns&sl=sh) to view all the available updates and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the [ServiceNow Store version history release notes](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/store-release-notes/page/release-notes/store/sn-store-release-notes.html).{#zOS-discovery__p_d21_nfg_h1c} Hinweis: For information on Probe to Pattern migration see the knowledge article [KB0694477](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0694477). The IBM zOS Server pattern performs infrastructure-level discovery for z/OS servers. To discover applications on z/OS, use application patterns, such as DB2 on Linux, WMQ On Unix, or Websphere On Unix. For more information, see [IBM z/OS Discovery requirements and expectations \[KB0623031\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0623031) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base. ## Prerequisites {#zOS-discovery__section_xzz_ngl_mbb} Verify that the UNIX System Services (USS) is running on port 22 : Verify that the USS service is running on port 22 on z/OS. Verify the required commands on the host machine : Verify that you can run the following commands on the host machine: * `uname` * `hostname` * `sysvar SYSNAME` * `netstat` * `df` * `ls` * `cat` * `grep` * `ps` * `cut` {#zOS-discovery__ul_irx_phl_mbb} Verify required permissions : Verify that you have the following permissions: * Write permission to `/tmp` * Read access to all user processes * Ability to run REXX scripts {#zOS-discovery__ul_gsg_w55_qhc} Create SSH credentials : For more information, see [SSH credentials](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_SSHCredentialsForm&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US). ## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#zOS-discovery__section_nyj_dwk_mbb} Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the IBM zOS Server pattern. The pattern discovers USS-mounted file systems. {#zOS-discovery__table_u33_nv5_qhc__entry__2} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Name \[name\] | Hostname of the z/OS system. | | OS Version \[os_version\] | z/OS operating system version.
