Creating Network Deployment cells with application servers on z/OS using the Profile Management Tool

This article leads you through the tasks involved in setting up a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Network Deployment cell including an initial application server, using the Profile Management Tool.

Before you begin

Have available copies of the worksheets that you completed as a part of Planning for deployment managers and Planning for product configuration on z/OS.

Procedure

  1. Create a customization definition for the Network Deployment cell.
    1. Follow the instructions in Creating customization definitions.
    2. Select Cell (deployment manager and an application server) under WebSphere Application Server for z/OS for the environment.
    3. Complete the fields using the values from your customization worksheet as you proceed through the panels.
  2. Review the customization definition to make sure that all of the values are correct.

    Read Reviewing the customization definition for more information.

  3. Upload the customization jobs to the target z/OS system.

    Read Processing customization definitions using the Profile Management Tool for more information.

  4. To run the customization jobs on the target z/OS system, follow the instructions in the Customization Instructions view of the Profile Management Tool or in the BBODMINS member of the CNTL dataset that you uploaded.

Results

When you have successfully completed the steps in the generated instructions, the new Network Deployment cell should be running on the z/OS system. Read Working with your new deployment managers for more information.

What to do next

Add application server nodes to your cell using one of two methods:
  • Create a new managed node using the Profile Management Tool, and add application servers to it using the administrative console or scripting.
  • Federate existing standalone application servers into your Network Deployment cell to create federated nodes with application servers.
