Installing the Feature Pack for Web Services on z/OS systems

Use this task to install the Feature Pack for Web Services on z/OS Version 6.1.

Before you begin

Install the z/OS system product code and optional materials. See Installing the product and additional software.

If you have not already done so, follow the steps in topics Preparing the base operating system and Planning for product configuration before continuing.

About this task

The Feature Pack for Web Services is included as service with the WebSphere Application Server on z/OS optional materials. This task provides instructions for installing the Feature pack for Web Services product code and enabling your runtime environment to use the Feature Pack for Web Services functions.

Perform the following steps to install the Feature Pack for Web Services on z/OS systems:

Procedure

  1. From the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS support Web site, obtain the PTF numbers for the Feature Pack for Web Services product code. Verify that you are running the minimum required WebSphere Application Server for z/OS level, and install any WebSphere Application Server on z/OS maintenance that is required by the Feature Pack for Web Services.
  2. Install the Feature Pack for Web Services installation support PTF. This PTF includes JCL to allocate and initialize a file system to hold the Feature pack for Web Services product code. Follow the instructions contained in this PTF to create the Feature Pack for Web Services file system.
  3. Install the Feature pack for Web Services product PTF. This PTF contains the Feature pack for Web Services product code, which is installed into the FPWS subdirectory of the Optional Materials directory.

What to do next

When you have finished the installation process, create a WebSphere Application Server on z/OS runtime environment that includes the Feature Pack for Web Services functions. A Feature Pack for Web Services plugin is available on the Profile Management tool for z/OS. You can create new stand-alone application servers and deployment managers that are enabled for the Feature Pack for Web Services. (The ISPF Customization Dialog can not be used to create feature pack enabled environments.)

To create a stand-alone application server that is enabled for the Feature Pack for Web Services:
  1. Install the Feature Pack for Web Services plugin for the z/OS Profile Management tool.
  2. Follow the instructions in Creating a z/OS application server with the Feature Pack for Web Services installed.
Use the following steps to create a deployment manager that is enabled for Feature Pack for Web Services or to work with an existing deployment manger:
  1. Install the Feature Pack for Web Services plugin for the z/OS Profile Management tool.
  2. Enable a deployment manager for the Feature Pack for Web Services:
Note: The managed node and cell profiles do not provide support for the Feature Pack for Web Services. To add the Feature Pack for Web Services -enabled application servers to a network deployment cell, create one or more stand-alone application servers using the procedure above and federate them into the cell. The cell's deployment manager must be enabled for the Feature Pack for Web Services before any application servers that are enabled for this feature pack can be federated.
