WebSphere
Application Server V6 for z/OS Security Class (WSW06) Presentations
The attached compressed file contains the lectures (in Acrobat format)
from the IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 for z/OS Security Workshop,
class WSW06. The topics include an overview of WebSphere Application
Server security, enabling global security, the RACF jobs, basic
authentication, form based authentication, enhanced form based
authentication, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and RunAs security and
connector security.
WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS V6 -- Understanding the HTTP Web Server
Plugin
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS has had a "web server plugin" since
the days of Version 4. With each new version there seems to be something
new, something different, about the plugin and how it works. WebSphere
Application Server V6 for z/OS is no different. V6 introduced the notion
of configuring "web servers" to WebSphere Application Server and "mapping
applications" to those web servers. There is talk of "managed nodes" and
"unmanaged nodes." What does it all mean?
Building
a Quick and Simple WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6 Runtime
Environment
For those not familiar with WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version
5 or Version 6, building your first operational server runtime can be
intimidating. Most documents dedicate themselves to going into lots of
technical detail on various aspects of WebSphere Application Server. But
if all you want to do is create a simple server environment, perhaps your
very first such server environment, then what you want is a simple
step-by-step process that is easy to follow and relatively foolproof.
WebSphere
Application Server z/OS V6 -- WSC Sample Network Deployment
Configuration
Like its predecessor WP100367 (for V5), this white paper documents the
construction of an actual WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6 Network
Deployment configuration at the IBM Washington Systems Center. The cell,
"WPCELL", consists of a Deployment Manager and two application server
nodes, one on SYSC and one on SYSD. A "horizontal cluster" is built
spanning the two nodes.
Problem
Avoidance for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
This Redpaper is intended for system programmers and administrators who
need an efficient way to identify problems, analyze them, and fix them so
that they can deliver good support for the WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS environment. IBM support and technical professionals and Java™
developers who work in the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
environment are also part of this targeted audience.
WebSphere
Application Server V6 Planning & Design Handbook Series
This IBM Redbooks® publication discusses the planning and design of
industrial strength WebSphere Application Server V6 environments. The
content of this Redbooks publication is oriented to IT architects and
consultants who require assistance when planning and designing from small
to large and complex implementations.
z/OS
- Planning for Test, Production, and Maintenance
Whenever multiple WebSphere Application Server for z/OS environments are
present, the need to isolate them from one another is also present. This
is particularly true when the Application Server test environment needs to
be completely isolated from the Application Server production environment.
One activity that brings this issue to the forefront is maintenance. Here
the desire is to isolate one Application Server cell from another and even
isolate nodes within a cell from one another. The latter is necessary when
"nondisruptive rolling maintenance" is the objective.
WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS Implementation (Education fee class)
This is an advanced course for experienced z/OS system programmers who
install and customize WebSphere Application Server V6, as well as
Information Technology (IT) professionals who deploy EJB and Web
applications into WebSphere Application Server V6 on z/OS.
WebSphere
for z/OS V5.1 - Migrating configuration from V5.0 to V5.1 White Paper
Application Server for z/OS V5.1 requires that V5.0 configurations be
migrated before they can be used. A set of utilities is supplied to
perform that migration. Some work is required on your part prior to using
the migration utilities. This document provides a concise, step-by-step
explanation of the process of migrating your configuration from V5.0 to
V5.1.
Migrating
Applications from WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V4 and V3.5 to
V5
This IBM Redbooks publication helps you install, tailor, and configure
the new WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 5. It has two parts:
infrastructure and application.

Migrating
to WebSphere Application Server z/OS V7
This document provides information and examples on migrating an
environment up to Version 7. The process involves planning the migration,
customizing the migration jobs using the MMT tool, and submitting the jobs
to perform the migration.
Using
Multiple SSL Certificates with WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
V6.1
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6.1 supports using multiple SSL
Certificates in a key ring, but the approach to setting this up differs
from WebSphere Application Server V5.1 and V6.0.2. In WebSphere
Application Server V6.1, the approach is to use multiple SSL
configurations, each with a different default certificate alias. This
document provides detailed instructions.
WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS V6 - Configuration Planning Spreadsheet
Anyone who has tried to configure a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
Version 6 runtime environment knows that one thing just can not be avoided
-- the planning of short names, long names, JCL proc names, IDs, UIDs,
GIDs, and ports.
WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS V6.1 - New Things Encountered During
Configuration
This relatively short paper points out some of things that will be
different when you configure your first Application Server V6.1 cell. Much
of the configuration process is very similar to that of V6.0, but a few
things, a few key things, are different. The purpose of this paper is to
alert you to some of them so your initial experience with configuring a
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6.1 cell is a successful one.
Migrating
to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6.1
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6.1 is the latest offering
from IBM on the z/OS operating system. It has many new features and
functions. This document covers what's involved with migrating an existing
configuration to the V6.1 level. The process is in many ways very similar
to how things were done migrating to V6.0. But there are differences, such
as things like "script compatibility" and "application migration options."
This document goes over the "big picture" of migration, covers the
panel-by-panel specifics, and then offers an illustration of an actual
migration as performed at the IBM Washington Systems Center.
JDBC™
Migration White Paper and Utility for DB2® on z/OS
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS version 6.1 will not support
integration with the legacy DB2 JDBC Driver. This was accomplished in
prior versions of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS using the DB2 for
z/OS Local JDBC Provider (RRS). This techdoc and attached wsadmin Jython
script will help users migrate their configuration to use the DB2
Universal JDBC Driver.

information about WebSphere Application Server in general as well as
information specific to your migration tasks.
WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS V6 - Configuration Planning Spreadsheet
Anyone who has tried to configure a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
Version 6 runtime environment knows that one thing just can not be avoided
-- the planning of short names, long names, JCL proc names, IDs, UIDs,
GIDs, and ports.
Tips
on Installing and First Steps Configuration of WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS V6
Having problems installing or configuring WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS Version 6? Before you call IBM Software Support, read this white
paper. It contains solutions to common installation and configuration
problems. It is written by the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
Integration Test (WIT) team based on their experience installing and
configuring WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6 on a shared
z/OS system that already had an SMP/E environment defined. This paper is
the first in a series of technical papers to be published by the IBM
WebSphere Integration & Test team.
Migrating
from WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V5.0 (any release) to V6 - An
Example Migration
With WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6 on the shelves, the
question of migrating a configuration from any release of V5.0 naturally
comes to mind. This white paper will provide an illustration of an actual
migration, step-by-step, so that you can see how it's accomplished and
what some of the issues may be when you attempt it. This white paper does
not try to be the definitive source for migration information; rather, it
will be an example of one actual migration.
Heterogeneous
cell support for z/OS
Ever thought about building a WebSphere Application Server cell with nodes
running on different operating systems? It can be done. With WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS Version 6, the ability to build what we call a
"Heterogeneous Cell" (a cell with nodes on different operating systems) is
possible. The basic stuff -- construction of nodes, federating the nodes
-- is essentially the same. Things get interesting when unique names are
being planned out. Things get even more interesting when "global security"
is turned on. This document covers the essential issues and then documents
an actual "heterogeneous cell" built at the Washington Systems Center.

and solutions that are documented and published to the Web.
Collecting
data (MustGather)
When a solution cannot be found to your migration problem, you can begin
collecting data (MustGather) before calling IBM support. This will help
you familiarize yourself with the troubleshooting process and save you
time.
Exchanging
information with IBM Technical Support
To diagnose or identify a problem, it is sometimes necessary to provide
Technical Support with data and information from your system. In addition,
Technical Support might also need to provide you with tools or utilities
to be used in problem determination.
Instructions
for handling certain Out of Memory conditions which occur during migration
of an earlier version of WebSphere Application Server to V5.1.1, V6.0.2,
or V6.1
When running WASPreUpgrade or WASPostUpgrade, during the migration
process from an earlier release of WebSphere Application Server to V5.1.1,
V6.0.2, or V6.1, the heap might run out of memory for a complex
environment. Either the execution of wsadmin to install the applications,
or the migration of the configuration itself, throws java.lang.OutOfMemory
errors.
WebSphere
Application Server V6 federated node migration fails, WASPostMigration log
reports MIGR0414E and V6 deployment manager SystemOut.log reports
TCPC0004W
When performing a migration from a relatively large deployment manager
node, the post-migration process might fail. The WASPostMigrate.log
reports MIGR0414E, and the SystemOut.log for the Application Server V6
deployment manager reports TCPC0004W.
