Overview of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS configuration

Why and when to perform this task

This section covers planning, installing, and customizing tasks for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.

Planning for, installing, and customizing WebSphere Application Server for z/OS includes those tasks you must perform prior to installing business applications, such as planning your system configuration and installing the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS run-time environment. This chapter:

To install the runtime environment initially, you must perform tasks in two general areas:

  1. The base z/OS system. You must prepare various z/OS elements, products, and your network prior to setting up WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. For instance, you must perform such tasks as updating your TCP/IP network, setting up security controls, and defining workload management (WLM) workloads.
  2. The WebSphere Application Server for z/OS runtime environment itself. This includes loading the code, changing parmlib members, creating environment files, and running configuration jobs.

After installation and customization, you can install application development environments for your application developers and client environments for your business applications. For more information about this, see the assembling applications information in the z/OS view of the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS information center.

When you have stabilized WebSphere Application Server for z/OS on the first system, you can enable WebSphere Application Server for z/OS in a sysplex. You may also implement other advanced system configurations, such as multi-node cells or connecting your business applications to an IMS or CICS database.
