Installing the feature pack on z/OS systems

You can use the System Modification Program / Extended (SMP/E) to install the Feature Pack for SCA on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 7.0 .

Before you begin

The Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA) is an optionally installable product extension for WebSphere Application Server that delivers an integrated, open implementation of SCA technology specified by IBM and other industry leaders through the Open SOA Collaboration. Quality-of-service capabilities such as transactions and security, and ease-of-use features, such as policy-set definitions for Web Services are available with the feature pack. This integration ensures that all of WebSphere's capabilities work together with SCA applications to provide a natural environment for both the SCA and existing applications.

Before starting this installation, perform the following actions:
  • Install the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 7.0 product code and optional materials if you have not done so already.

    See Installing the product and additional software on z/OS.

  • Install the WebSphere Customization Tools, which contain the Profile Management Tool, if you are going to use it to create the jobs for enabling profiles for the feature pack.

    The latest version of the WebSphere Customization Tools can be downloaded from IBM WebSphere Customization Tools.

About this task

The Feature Pack for SCA is included as service with the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS optional materials.

Procedure

  1. Obtain the program temporary fix (PTF) numbers for the Feature Pack for SCA product code from the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS service support Web site.
  2. Order or download the appropriate PTFs.
  3. Verify that you are running the minimum level of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS that is required by the feature pack, and install any WebSphere Application Server for z/OS maintenance that is needed.
  4. Install the product PTFs for the Feature Pack for SCA.

    Follow the instructions provided in the PTFs. The product files for the feature pack are installed into the following directory:

    -PathPrefix-/usr/lpp/zWebSphere_OM/V7R0/FPSCA

    The file system containing this directory must be mounted on all z/OS systems on which the feature pack will be used.

  5. New or updated for this feature pack Optional: If you plan to use the Service Data Objects (SDO) feature of the feature pack, you also must perform the following tasks.
    1. Obtain and install the separate code for the Feature Pack for XML using the procedure described above.
    2. Obtain and install the separate code for the SDO feature using the procedure described above.

What to do next

When you have finished the installation, you can create a WebSphere Application Server on z/OS runtime environment that includes Feature Pack for SCA functions. To use the feature-pack functionality, you must create a new profile with the feature-pack functionality or augment an existing profile with the feature pack.

New or updated for this feature pack To use the SDO feature functionality of the feature pack, you must augment an existing standalone application server profile or a managed (custom) node with the Feature Pack for XML, the Feature Pack for SCA, and the SDO feature of the Feature Pack for SCA. In a Network Deployment cell, the deployment manager for the augmented managed node must be augmented with the Feature Pack for XML, the Feature Pack for SCA, and the SDO feature.

Use the workstation-based Profile Management Tool, which can be launched from the WebSphere Customization Tools, or the zpmt command to generate customization jobs and associated instructions for Feature Pack for SCA profile creation and augmentation.

Important: Back up your configuration file system before augmenting any profiles. You cannot unaugment profiles, and you might want to restore your pre-augmentation configuration later. After you restore, you will have to manually make any other changes that you made to the configuration after the backup.
