Use this task to configure WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application serving environments for your z/OS target systems.
Configuring a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application serving environment consists of setting up the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS configuration directory for the environment, making any required changes to the z/OS target system that pertain to the particular application serving environment, and starting the new environment to verify the configuration. Configuring these application serving environments after product installation requires a fair amount of planning and coordination. If you have not previously configured WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, you should configure a "practice" stand-alone application server using the default options then proceed to configure the actual product configuration that you want.
See Building a practice WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cell for more information.
If you have already created a Network Deployment cell, follow the instructions in this section to expand the cell by creating a new managed node or federating an existing stand-alone application server node into the Network Deployment cell.
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application serving environment nodes are created using the ISPF-based Customization Dialog. Once a node is configured and running, make further changes using the Web-based administrative console or scripting.
After you have installed the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product, prepared your z/OS target systems, and planned your new application serving environment, perform the tasks in this section to configure and start the application serving environment.
Once your application serving environment is up and running, you can install and test applications. You might also want to configure your Web servers to interact with WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
See the Related Tasks section for additional tasks you can perform once your application serving environment is configured.
