- _____ System exits (IEFUSI) do not restrict WebSphere Application Server for z/OS address spaces to less than
1024 MB.
- _____ The TSO segment default region size for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS installer and administrator
TSO user IDs is at least 512 MB.
Preparing the sysplex
- _____ The target system is configured as a monoplex or into a
multisystem sysplex. (Record sysplex name above.)
- _____ System logger is configured.

Preparing JES2 or JES3
- _____ The system proclib for application server cataloged procedures
is specified.
Table 3. System proclib for application server cataloged
procedures. Use the following table to specify the
system proclib for application server cataloged procedures.
System proclib for application server cataloged
procedures |

- _____ JES2 exit EXIT06 or JES3 exit IATUX03 do not prevent use
of REGION= value on JOB or EXEC statements for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS address spaces.
- _____ Spool space is added if necessary.
Preparing Resource Recovery Services
- _____ The RRS cataloged procedure is present in system proclib.
Table 4. RRS
cataloged procedure present in system proclib. Use
the following table to specify the RRS cataloged procedure present
in system proclib.
Procedure name: |

- _____ The RRS dispatching priority is set using SYSSTC or other
means.
- _____ The RRS cataloged procedure name is defined as a subsystem
name in IEFSSN00. The subsystem name must match the cataloged procedure
name.

- _____ RRS starts successfully.
Preparing Security Server (RACF)
- _____ If multiple security databases are in use, a plan is in
place to provide database consistency.
