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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.)
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:
- Install the Feature Pack for Web Services plugin for the z/OS
Profile Management tool.
- Enable a deployment manager for the Feature Pack for Web Services:
Restriction:
- You cannot augment an existing standalone application server with
the Feature Pack for Web Services. You must create a new server with
the Feature Pack for Web Services installed.
- The cell profile templates do not support the Feature Pack for
Web Services. To add application servers enabled for the Feature
Pack for Web Services to a network deployment cell, create one or
more standalone application servers with the Feature Pack for Web
Services installed using the procedure described above and then federate
them into the cell. You must enable the deployment manager of the
cell for the Feature Pack for Web Services before you can federate
any application servers that are enabled for this feature pack.
Supported configurations: You can create
a managed node that is enabled for the Feature Pack for Web Services
