Using the ISPF Customization Dialog to create migration jobs and instructions

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 the JCL jobs (CNTL and DATA data sets) that you will run during the actual migration. You can use either the z/OS Migration Management Tool or the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) Customization Dialog to create the appropriate jobs and instructions. This article provides information on how you can use the ISPF Customization Dialog in the migration process.

Before you begin

The ISPF Customization Dialog is intended for use by a systems programmer or administrator who is familiar with the z/OS system on which the migrated Version 6.1.x nodes will run.

About this task

The ISPF Customization Dialog itself does not perform the actual migration of nodes to Version 6.1.x; instead, it creates batch jobs, scripts, and data files that you can use to perform WebSphere Application Server for z/OS migration tasks. You then use these jobs, scripts, and data files for the actual migration.

Procedure

Create migration jobs and instructions for the nodes that you want to migrate.

What to do next

  1. To perform the actual migration, follow the customized instructions in the CNTL data sets that you generated.
  2. After you migrate the nodes, use the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6.1.x administrative console or scripting to administer them.
