Preparing the base operating system

Use this task to prepare your z/OS target systems for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.

Before you begin

About this task

The WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product makes extensive use of the underlying z/OS operating system services for security, reliability, and performance.

After you install the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product code, perform the tasks in this section to prepare your z/OS target systems to run WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
Note: Target systems are the systems on which WebSphere Application Server for z/OS will actually run. The driving system, on which the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product code installation is performed, might or might not also be a target system.

Procedure

  1. Identify the first z/OS target system on which you plan to create a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application serving environment.
  2. Print off a copy of Checklist: Preparing the base operating system. Use this worksheet to identify which of the following steps have been completed for the target system and record information you will need during product configuration.
  3. Prepare z/OS operating system settings. See Preparing z/OS for detailed instructions.
  4. Prepare z/OS sysplex settings. See Preparing the sysplex for detailed instructions.
  5. Prepare the z/OS job entry subsystem (JES2 or JES3). See Preparing JES2 or JES3 for detailed instructions.
  6. Identify TCP/IP resources you want to use and prepare your network. See Preparing TCP/IP for more information.
  7. Set up Resource Recovery Services (RRS). See Preparing Resource Recovery Services for more information.
  8. Set up your SAF-compliant security package. See Preparing the security server (RACF) if you will use the z/OS Security Server. If you will use another SAF-compliant security product, consult the product's manufacturer for assistance.
  9. Set up component trace (CTRACE).
  10. Repeat these steps for each z/OS target system on which you plan to run WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
  11. Keep the worksheets you filled out as you will need some of the information you recorded on them during product configuration.

What to do next

When you have completed this task for each z/OS target system, you are ready to plan your WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application serving environments on these target systems. See Planning for product configuration for more information.
