In a flexible management environment, you can submit jobs to install Installation Manager instances, update Installation Manager with a repository (not supported on z/OS® targets), manage Installation Manager offerings, and install WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.0 products.
Start the job manager and make a remote host a target of the job manager. In the job manager console or deployment manager console, click
and complete the fields on the New targets page.A remote host typically is a different computer than the one on which the job manager is installed.
To submit jobs, your ID at the job manager must be authorized for the administrator role or the operator role. When you submit a job, you can specify a user name and password for authentication and authorization at the target or targets. When you submit a job to multiple targets, the user name and password or the credentials for the submitter must be applicable to all of the job targets.
SSH code is not automatically included with z/OS operating systems. You must ensure SSH is installed and enabled on any target you want to access using CIM.
For Version 8.0, CIM functions are not compatible with CIM Version 6.x or 7.x.
You can use the Installation Manager to install and manage installations on remote hosts. Using the job manager, you can run jobs that create and update Installation Manager instances and install the product on remote hosts.
The topics in this section describe how to use the Installation Manager by running jobs in the job manager console or the deployment manager console. Instead of using a console, you can run wsadmin commands in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.
On the Job status page, click the ID of the job and view the job status. If the job is not successful, view any error messages that result from running the job, correct the error condition, and submit the job again.
