WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Federating the empty node into the deployment manager cell

When you federate the empty nodes into the deployment manager cell, you associate the empty nodes with the deployment manager so that you can use the deployment manager to administer the nodes. Until you federate the empty nodes, you cannot use them for processing work.

Before you begin

Before you federate an empty node to the deployment manager cell, you must perform the following task:

About this task

To federate the empty node into the deployment manager cell:
Procedure
  1. Start the deployment manager. See Starting a server from the MVS console.
  2. Locate the JCL member BBOWMNAN which was customized by the WebSphere Application Server ISPF customization dialogs when you created the empty node. For more information, see Configuring an empty node with WebSphere ESB.
  3. Submit the BBOWMNAN job and check that it completes with a return code of 0.
  4. If you have chosen not to start the node agent automatically when you used the WebSphere Application Server ISPF application to configure the empty managed node, you must start the node agent manually now. See Starting a server from the MVS console.
  5. Backup of the configuration file system data sets for the deployment manager and for any managed nodes.

Results

The empty node has now been federated into the deployment manager cell and you can administer the node using the deployment manager in the administrative console.

What to do next

Next, use the administrative console to create a cluster. See Creating a cluster for more information.
