Use this task to configure WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application serving environments for your z/OS target systems using the z/OS Profile Management Command Line tool. This is an option for configuring if you do not have access to a Windows or Linux workstation.
The z/OS Profile Management Command Line tool is an alternative to the z/OS Profile Management tool launched from the Application Server Toolkit. This tool would be beneficial for users who want to use the z/OS Profile Management tool, but do not have a Windows or Linux workstation available to run the Application Server Toolkit or need to automate the generation of the WebSphere for z/OS customization jobs . The tool is launched on the target z/OS system you need to configure using a shell script.
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 sample response file. Then proceed to configure the actual product configuration that you want. See the sample files below for more information.
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application serving environment nodes are created using the Profile Management Command Line tool. 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 WebSphere Application Server for z/OS environment, perform the tasks in this section to configure needed response files.
Once your application serving environment is up and running, you can install and test the applications. You might also want to configure your Web servers to interact with WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
