Preparing to migrate a deployment manager using the z/OS Migration Management Tool

Before you migrate a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Version 5.1.x or Version 6.x node to Version 7.0, you must create Job Control Language (JCL) jobs (CNTL and DATA datasets) that you will run on z/OS during the actual migration. You can use the z/OS Migration Management Tool to create a migration definition and upload jobs for migrating a deployment manager.

Before you begin

Print and complete the Specifying a deployment manager migration configuration in the z/OS Migration Management Tool: Worksheet.

Procedure

  1. Follow the instructions in Creating a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool.
  2. Review the deployment manager migration definition to make sure that all the values are correct.
    1. In the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS migration definition table, select the migration definition that you want to review.
    2. Click View.
    3. Click the Summary, Instructions, or Response file tab for information about the migration definition.
  3. Upload the migration jobs to the target z/OS system.

    Read Processing a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool for instructions.

What to do next

  1. To run the migration jobs on the target z/OS system, follow the instructions in the Migration Instructions view of the z/OS Migration Management Tool or in the BBOMDINS member of the CNTL dataset that you uploaded to the target z/OS system.

    Read Migrating a z/OS deployment manager for details.

  2. After you migrate the deployment manager, use the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 administrative console or scripting to administer it.
