This article leads you through the tasks involved in creating a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS managed server node.

About this task

Perform this task to create a new WebSphere Application Server for z/OS managed node.

Procedure

  1. Log on to TSO on the z/OS system on which you intend to configure the managed node. Use a user ID that has READ access to the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product data sets. You will also need access to a user ID with authority to make security system updates and a user ID with UID 0. (These can all be the same user ID.)
  2. Start the Customization Dialog. See Starting the Customization Dialog for details.
  3. Choose the configuration data sets in which you will store your customization jobs and data. See Choosing configuration data sets for details.
  4. Load the common MVS groups and users variables. See Loading the common MVS groups and users variables for details. (Optionally, you can use the L command to load the Network Deployment cell variables if you saved them during Network Deployment cell setup.)
  5. Set the customization variables according to the values recorded on your managed node worksheet. See Setting the customization variables: Managed node for details.
  6. (Optional but recommended.) Save the managed node customization variables in a data set. See Saving the cell variables for details.
  7. Create the customization jobs and files, based on the customization variable values you entered. See Creating the customization jobs and files for details.
  8. Follow the generated customization instructions. See Following the generated customization instructions: Managed node for details, and a sample set of customization instructions.

Results

You are done when you have successfully completed the steps in the generated instructions. The new managed node is up and running on the chosen z/OS system. See Working with your new managed server node for more information.
