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. The z/OS Migration Management Tool presents you with a set of configuration variables when creating a definition for migrating a standalone application server.
The configuration file system is where the configuration for the node being migrated is physically stored. You can choose to use an existing Version 7.0 file system if you already have an appropriate file system on the node being migrated. If you choose to use an existing Version 7.0 file system, you need to ensure that the mount point that you specify here is present before running the migration utilities (BBOWMG1B, BBOWMG2B, and so on) that are created using this tool. If you choose to create a new Version 7.0 file system on the node being migrated, the actual creation of the new file system will not occur until you run the optional BBOMBHFS or BBOMBZFS job during the actual migration process. In any case, you must specify the correct value here for the mount point.
Refer to the customized instructions generated by this tool for specific information on setting the correct ownership and permissions on the configuration mount point. Read the generated instructions and Migrating a standalone application server on the z/OS® operating system for more information on specifying these variables.
Enter a valid job statement for your installation. The migration creation process will update the job name for you in all the generated jobs, so you do not need to be concerned with that portion of the job statement. If continuation lines are needed, replace the comment lines with continuation lines.
