When you migrate federated nodes to WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0, use the available planning information, high-level
migration checklists, and detailed migration explanations to learn
how to generate the migration jobs and plan your migration.
About this task
Complete this task to migrate a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS® Version 5.1.x or Version 6.x federated
node to Version 7.0.
Tips:
- For help, read Troubleshooting migration.
- For a WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment cell, the applications are migrated during
deployment-manager migration rather than during migration of its federated
nodes.
- You can reuse the same target datasets, file system, and Job Control
Language (JCL) procedures for your federated nodes that you used for
the deployment manager.
Procedure
- Print the Migrating a z/OS federated node: Checklist, and
use it as you conduct your migration.
- Inventory your applications for the node being migrated,
and capture key information as described in Preparing to migrate a WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment cell for z/OS.
- Generate a set of migration jobs and instructions.
Read Preparing to migrate a federated node using the z/OS Migration Management Tool and Processing a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool for information on generating
and uploading your migration definition using the z/OS Migration
Management Tool.
Read Using the zmmt command to create migration definitions on z/OS for
information on generating migration definitions using the zmmt command.
- Follow the customized instructions in the BBOMMINS member
of the CNTL dataset that you generated, and refer to the information
in Migrating a z/OS federated node.
What to do next
After you migrate the federated node, use the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 administrative console or scripting to administer the migrated
federated node.
