Before you migrate a WebSphere® Application
Server for z/OS® node to Version 8.0, 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
Supported configurations: This
topic is about configuration migration, such as migrating deployment
managers and federated nodes in a network deployment environment.
The Application Migration Toolkit for WebSphere Application Server
provides support for migrating applications from previous versions
of WebSphere Application Server to the latest product version. For
information about migrating applications, read more about the Application
Migration Toolkit.
