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 the appropriate migration jobs. This article
leads you through the steps involved in uploading migration jobs to a target z/OS system
using the z/OS Migration
Management Tool. The article also describes how to export the jobs for
a migration definition to a directory on the local file system using the z/OS Migration
Management Tool.
Procedure
- Start the z/OS Migration Management Tool.
Read Starting the z/OS Migration Management Tool for more information.
- In the Migration Locations table, select the location of
the migration definition that you want to process.
- In the Migration Definitions table, select the migration
definition that you want to process.
- Click Process.
- On the Select Process Type panel, select the type of processing
that you want to perform on the migration definition.
- Click Next.
- Depending on the type of process that you selected, perform one
of the following actions:
- 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 jobs.
- 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 for the user ID 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.
- If you want to allocate the target z/OS datasets, check the box beside Allocate
target z/OS datasets and
complete the two fields that are activated.
Note: If you are uploading the
migration jobs to a system different from the system on which you want to
run the jobs, you must target a volume that is shared by those systems.
- In the Volume field, enter the volume for the target datasets.
- In the Unit field, enter the unit for the target datasets.
- On the Export Migration Definition panel, specify the directory
to which you want to export migration jobs.
Tips:
- Hover your cursor over a field for help information.
- Click Cancel to leave the process without uploading or exporting
the migration jobs.
- Click Finish.
