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
- Install WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0
on a z/OS system containing a Version 5.1.x or Version
6.x configuration.
- 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:
- Go to Recommended fixes for WebSphere Application Server.
- Look under Version 7.0 for a link to the WebSphere Customization
Tools Version 7.0 download page.
- Go to that Web page, and download the latest WebSphere Customization
Tools Version 7.0 package.
- 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.
- Install the new WebSphere Customization Tools
Version 7.0 package.
Procedure
- Open the WebSphere Customization Tools.
- If the z/OS Migration Management Tool
is not already open, perform the following actions:
- Open the Welcome tab, and select z/OS Migration
Management Tool.
- 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.
