Customizing the deployment manager in WebSphere Extended Deployment for z/OS

To add WebSphere Extended Deployment for z/OS V6.0.1 to a WebSphere Application Network Deployment cell, you must first add WebSphere Extended Deployment to the deployment manager node. This topic describes the steps to accomplish this task.

Before you begin

You must first install WebSphere Extended Deployment for z/OS V6.0.1 before customizing it. Refer to the WebSphere Extended Deployment for z/OS V6.0.1 Program Directory for installation instructions, located on the WebSphere Extended Deployment Library page.

About this task

Follow these steps to add WebSphere Extended Deployment for z/OS to a pre-existing Deployment Manager profile.

Procedure

  1. Launch the customization dialog from TSO using this command:
    ex '<was-hlq>.sbboclib(bbowstrt)' 'prod(eex) prodhlq(<xd-hlq>)'

    where:

    <was-hlq> is the dataset high level qualifier for the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product datasets.

    Note: Use the level of WebSphere Application Server specified in the WebSphere Extended Deployment for z/OS V6.0.1 Program Directory.

    <xd-hlq> is the dataset high level qualifier for the WebSphere Extended Deployment for z/OS product datasets.

  2. Choose option 5 in the customization dialog, WebSphere Application Server-based add-on products. Then, choose WebSphere Extended Deployment.
  3. Follow steps a through d (options 1-4 on the customization dialog panel) for WebSphere Extended Deployment:
    1. Allocate datasets to hold WebSphere Extended Deployment customization jobs and data.
    2. Define the variables for the WebSphere Extended Deployment SMP/E home directory and the WebSphere Application Server home directory. The WebSphere Extended Deployment SMP/E home directory is the directory where WebSphere Extended Deployment was installed. For example,
      /usr/lpp/zWebSphereXD/V6R0

      The WebSphere Application Server home directory is the directory of the WebSphere Application Server instance to which you want to add WebSphere Extended Deployment. For example,

      /WebSphere/V6R0/DeploymentManager

      If the WebSphere cell to which you are adding WebSphere Extended Deployment has security enabled, you must specify Y to indicate security is enabled and specify the userid and password of your WebSphere administrator ID. This ID must be authorized to login to the WebSphere console and be granted the administrator role.

    3. Generate the customization jobs for this WebSphere instance.
    4. View and follow the customization instructions. The instructions are found in member EEXINS of the <hlq>.CNTL dataset, which you allocated in Step 1 of the WebSphere Extended Deployment customization steps, as described previously.
  4. Ensure the deployment manager is stopped.
  5. The customization instructions indicate to execute jobs in this order: EEXSTEP1, EEXSTEP2, and EEXSTEP3. Each job should end with a return code of zero. These jobs are found in the <hlq>.CNTL dataset, which you allocated in Step 1 of the WebSphere Extended Deployment customization steps, as described previously.
  6. Start the deployment manager.

Results

The deployment manager is customized for the WebSphere Extended Deployment environment.

What to do next

After the deployment manager is customized, you can customize any of the application server nodes in the same cell. Only the application server nodes that satisfy the WebSphere Extended Deployment for z/OS install pre-requisites can be customized.
