Using the Profile Management Tool to create z/OS administrative agents with the OSGi Applications
feature enabled
You can use the Profile Management Tool to generate the
jobs required to create a z/OS® administrative
agent with the OSGi Applications feature enabled.
Before you begin
Before starting this procedure, perform the following actions:
Install the feature-pack code on the target z/OS system.
Optional: If you want to add a customization
location to the Customization Locations table, perform the
following actions:
Click Add.
Enter the path name of the location where you want to
store the customization definitions and associated data.
Important: The customization location directory must be empty
when you create a new customization location.
Perform one of the following actions:
If you want to use an existing customization location, select Use
an existing customization location.
If you want to create a new customization location, select Create
a new customization location.
Enter a value for the name that
is meaningful to you, and select Version 7.0.
Click Finish.
Create a customization definition that includes the OSGi
Applications feature.
In the Customization Locations table, select
the location of the customization definition that you want to create.
Click the Customization Definitions tab if it
is not already selected.
Click Create.
Expand OSGi Applications feature of the WebSphere Application Server Feature Pack
for OSGi Applications and JPA 2.0 with the appropriate version
number.
Select Management with the OSGi Applications feature with
the appropriate version number.
Click Next.
Select Administrative agent.
Click Next.
Complete the fields in the panels using the configuration
values that you entered for the variables on the configuration worksheet
that you created, clicking Back and Next as necessary.
Tips:
Hover your cursor over a field for help information.
Click Cancel at any time to leave the creation process
without generating a customization definition.
When you have successfully entered all of the necessary
information about the panels for this type of customization definition,
the Profile Management Tool displays the definition type, location,
and name on the Customization Summary panel.
Click Create.
Click Finish.
Tips:
You might want to make a note of the customization definition
name and response-file location for future reference.
If you just make note of the name, you can get the response file
location later from the Customization Summary panel after you
select the customization definition name.
Review the administrative agent definition response file
to confirm that the values are correct.
Click Process to upload the customization jobs and
instructions to the target z/OS system or export them to the file
system.
Follow the generated instructions, which you can view using
one of the following methods:
In the Profile Management Tool, select the desired customization
definition and select the Customization Instructions tab.
After you upload the definition, view member BBOCCINS in the target
CNTL dataset, which will be identified on the upload panel.
If you encounter problems caused by your values in the
customization definition, modify your variables using the Profile
Management Tool, regenerate the instructions, and upload the customization
definitions again.
Notes:
Do not attempt to fix a typographical error or make a change by
modifying the generated output. Many of the variables are used in
multiple members of the target datasets; if you do not change them
all, therefore, you might experience errors that are difficult to
diagnose.
Remember that you cannot upload new customization jobs while either
configuration dataset is open.
