1.2 Getting Started with the zos Command

might prefer a command line interface (CLI). This section is for advanced users or those who prefer
CLI.
All zos commands begin with

zos command [command_parameters]
Before you use the zos CLI, make sure that your path is correctly pointing to the PlateSpin
Orchestrate tools directory. On Windows platforms, the path is automatically set when you launch
the PlateSpin Orchestrate command prompt window. If the path is set, you then need to log in to the
PlateSpin Orchestrate Server before the commands work.
This section includes the following information:
