Preparing to migrate a Network Deployment configuration to WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS Version 6.1.x includes activities related to inventorying
your existing configuration, planning your node-by-node strategy, as well
as generating the CNTL and DATA data sets that you will use in the actual
migration.
Procedure
- Inventory your existing configuration.
- Plan the node-by-node migration strategy.
Map out
your migration sequence:
|
Node Short Name |
System Name |
First node |
|
|
Second node |
|
|
Third node |
|
|
Fourth node |
|
|
Fifth node |
|
|
Sixth node |
|
|
- Produce migration CNTL/DATA
data sets for each node that you want to migrate.
You must provide
a set of CNTL and DATA data sets for the migration utilities to read in order
to perform the migration. Generate a set of customized jobs for each node
in your configuration that you want to migrate.

Some important points about these steps:
The purpose of creating these customized CNTL and DATA data sets
is to give the migration utilities access to key information about your new
Version 6.1.x configuration (mount points and paths for example) as well as
access to shell scripts customized with this new information. As illustrated
here, the migration utilities get the bulk of the configuration information
(settings and applications for example) from your existing Version 5.x or
6.0.x configuration file system.
