A configuration script augments a node to add support for WebSphere® ESB for z/OS® functions. You must decide on the topology of your WebSphere ESB for z/OS cell and then define and augment all the nodes that will run WebSphere ESB for z/OS functions.
You set values for various parameters in a response file that is passed as input to the configuration shell scripts. There are two ways to create a response file. You can use the zPMT tool to generate the response file, or you can edit sample response files that are supplied with the product. In Creating common configurations you will find a high-level task list that guides you through planning and implementing different WebSphere Process Server topologies.
