Checklist of migration activities for standalone application server node

Activities for migrating a standalone application server node after you have generated the appropriate JCL jobs using the Customization Dialog include activities related to general preparation, transaction-log clearance, and node migration.

This checklist is intended to provide a quick reference.

More details can be found under Preparing to migrate a standalone application server node to Version 6.0.x.

Key similarities with an ND configuration:
  • You must still create "skeleton" CNTL/DATA data sets through the Customization Dialog.
  • You must still allocate and mount a new HFS to act as the target for the new Version 6.0.x configuration, either manually or using BBOWMBMT.
  • You must still run BBOWMG3B to perform the migration.
Key differences from an ND configuration:
  • You must clear transaction logs using BBOWMG1B; you do not have to do this for a deployment manager migration.
  • You must disable PRR mode using BBOWMG2B; you do not have to do this for a deployment manager migration.
  • There is no deployment manager node to migrate.

General preparation work

Table 1.
Check off Item
  Insure minimum level of Version 6.0.x maintenance. See Frequently asked questions about the migration process.
  Inventory your existing Version 5.x configuration and capture key information (see Preparing to migrate a standalone application server node to Version 6.0.x).
  Create "skeleton" CNTL/DATA data sets for each node to be migrated (see Customization Dialog walk-through for migrating a standalone application server node).
  Create Version 6.0.x configuration mount point, allocate HFS and mount either manually or using BBOWMBMT.
  Run BBOMBCP to modify JCL start procedure names.

Clear transaction logs for application server node

Check off Item
  Stop server in the standalone application server node.
  Run BBOWMG1B. Check for success.
  Restart the application server to clear transaction logs. It will start and then automatically stop.
  Run BBOWMG2B to disable PRR mode.

Migrate application server node

Check off Item
  Ensure that all servers are stopped, including the daemon server.
  Run BBOWMG3B and check for success.
  Start application servers.
