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 a migration definition
that contains JCL jobs (CNTL and DATA data sets) that you will run on z/OS
during the actual migration. You can use the z/OS Migration Management Tool
to create and upload the appropriate migration definition. This article leads
you through the steps involved in uploading a migration definition to a target
z/OS system using the z/OS Migration Management Tool.
Procedure
- Start the z/OS Migration Management Tool.
See Starting the z/OS Migration Management Tool.
- On the WebSphere for z/OS Migration panel, select the migration
definition that you want to upload to the target z/OS system and click Upload.
- On the Upload Migration Definition panel, specify the necessary
upload information.
- In the Target z/Os system field, enter the IP name or
address of the z/OS system to which you want to upload the migration definition.
- In the User ID field, enter the user ID that you want
to use to log on to the FTP server on the target z/OS system.
- In the Password field, enter the password that you want
to use to log on to the FTP server on the target z/OS system.
- In the Server port field, enter the port number of the
FTP server on the target z/OS system.
- In the Timeout field, enter the number of seconds that
can elapse without any I/O operation completing before the upload is stopped.
- Optional: If you want to allocate the target z/OS
data sets, check the box beside Allocate target z/OS data sets and
complete the two fields that are activated.
Note: If you are uploading
the migration definition to a system different from the system on which you
want to run the migration jobs, you must target a volume that is shared by
those systems.
- In the Volume field, enter the volume for the target data sets.
- In the Unit field, enter the unit for the target data sets.
Tips:
- Hover your cursor over a field for help information.
- Click Cancel to leave the process without uploading the migration
definition.
- Click Upload to copy the migration definition to the target
z/OS system.
- After the upload is completed, click OK to return to the WebSphere
for z/OS Migration panel.
