Before you begin
A typical WebSphere Application Server for z/OS base run-time includes a cell with a location service daemon (BBODMNB) and one node which includes an Application Server (server1) with a controller and any number of servants. Once you have installed the Application Server run-time and associated business application servers on a monoplex, you can migrate the run-time and associated application servers to a sysplex configuration.Why and when to perform this task
The benefits of migrating to a sysplex include:The following table shows the subtasks and associated procedures for
enabling WebSphere Application Server for z/OS in a sysplex.
