Starting 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 the appropriate migration jobs.

Before you begin

  1. Install WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 on a z/OS system containing a Version 5.1.x or Version 6.x configuration.
  2. Install the most current release of WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0 on a workstation running the Windows® or Linux® Intel® operating system.
    • If the latest release of WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0 is on your product disk, install it.
    • If the latest release of WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0 is not on your product disk, perform the following tasks:
      1. Go to Recommended fixes for WebSphere Application Server.
      2. Look under Version 7.0 for a link to the WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0 download page.
      3. Go to that Web page, and download the latest WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0 package.
      4. Optional: Uninstall any earlier releases of WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0 from your system.
        Tip: You can have multiple copies of WebSphere Customization Tools concurrently installed. If you want to do this (to make sure that the new version is working before deleting the old version for example), the only requirement is that you install each version at a different location.
      5. Install the new WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0 package.

Procedure

  1. Open the WebSphere Customization Tools.
    • On a Windows operating system, go to Start > Programs > IBM® WebSphere > WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0 and click WebSphere Customization Tools.
    • On a Linux operating system, use the menus used to start your programs.

      For example, click operating_system_menus_to_access_programs > IBM WebSphere > WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0.

  2. If the z/OS Migration Management Tool is not already open, perform the following actions:
    1. Open the Welcome tab, and select z/OS Migration Management Tool.
    2. Read the Welcome information, and then click Launch Selected Tool.

What to do next

You can now create or work with a WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 migration definition.
