Creating a definition for migrating a federated node using the z/OS Migration Management Tool

Before you migrate a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Version 5.x or 6.0.x node to Version 6.1.x, you must create a migration definition that contains JCL jobs (CNTL and DATA data sets) that you will run on z/OS during the actual migration. You can use the z/OS Migration Management Tool to create a definition for migrating a federated node.

Before you begin

  1. Install the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 or later, which includes the z/OS Migration Management Tool, on a workstation running the Windows® or Linux® Intel® operating system.
    [This information only applies to Version 6.1.0.9 and later running on the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.] Note on using the z/OS managment tools on the Microsoft® Windows Vista™ operating system: To use the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS management tools that accompany WebSphere Application Server Toolkit on the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, you must have Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1.2 or later installed on your system. Earlier versions of the Application Server Toolkit are not supported on the Windows Vista operating system.

    AST is not supported on the Windows 2008 operating system.

    Perform one of the following actions:
    • If Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 or later is on your product disk, follow the installation instructions that are on the disk to install it.
    • If Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 or later is not on your product disk, perform the following tasks:
      1. Go to Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server.
      2. Look under Version 6.1 for a link to the Application Server Toolkit 6.1.1 or later download page.
      3. Go to that page, and download the Application Server Toolkit 6.1.1 or later package and its installation instructions.
      4. Follow the instructions to install the Application Server Toolkit.
  2. Print and complete the Specifying a federated node migration configuration: Worksheet.

Procedure

  1. Follow the instructions in Creating a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool.
  2. Review the federated node migration definition to make sure that all the values are correct.
    1. In the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS migration definition table, select the migration definition that you want to review.
    2. Click View.
    3. Click the Summary, Instructions, or Response file tab for detailed information about the migration definition.
  3. Upload the migration definition to the target z/OS system.

    See Uploading a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool for instructions.

What to do next

  1. Follow the instructions in the BBOMMINS member of the CNTL data set that you uploaded to the target z/OS system.

    See Migrating a federated node for details.

  2. After you migrate the federated node, use the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6.1.x administrative console or scripting to administer it.
