Installing the feature pack on z/OS systems

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

Before you begin

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.
  • 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 CEA 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 CEA 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.

    For example, Feature Pack for CEA Version 1.0.0.1 requires a minimum WebSphere Application Server for z/OS service level of 7.0.0.7.

  4. Install the product PTF(s) for the Feature Pack for CEA.

    Follow the instructions provided in the PTF(s). The product files for the feature pack are installed into the following directory:

    -PathPrefix-/usr/lpp/zWebSphere_OM/V7R0/FPCEA

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

What to do next

Install the Feature Pack for CEA extension for the Profile Management Tool.
  1. Make sure that you have installed WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0.0.9 or later on your workstation.
    You can download the latest version of WebSphere Customization Tools from the following Web sites:
  2. Make sure that you performed the SMP/E installation of the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.x Feature Pack for CEA on your z/OS system.
  3. Create a folder on your workstation to receive the file to be downloaded from the z/OS system.
  4. Using FTP, download the following file in binary format from the z/OS system where the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Optional Materials program is installed. For example:
    /usr/lpp/zWebSphere_OM/V7R0/FPCEA/util/WCT/cea.wct
  5. Open the WebSphere Customization Tools on your workstation, and go to Help > Software Updates > Install Extension.
  6. On the Extension Locations panel, click Install new extension location.
  7. On the Source Archive File panel, use the Browse button to specify the path to the cea.wct file that you downloaded from the SMP/E location and then click Next.
  8. On the Summary Location panel, click Next.
  9. On the Install Successful panel, perform the following actions:
    1. Select the entire contents of the Location field and copy them to the clipboard.
    2. To be certain that you captured the location, paste it into a text-editor session.
    3. Click Finish.
  10. In the Product Configuration panel that displays, click Add an Extension Location.
    Notes:
    • You can always access this panel directly by going to Help > Software Updates > Product Configuration.
    • Do not use any other feature or link on this panel other than Add an Extension Location. The other tasks listed on this panel are not supported in the WebSphere Customization Tools environment.
  11. In the panel that displays, paste the copied location into the Folder field and click OK.
  12. Click Yes on the panel asking you if you would like to restart the WebSphere Customization Tools.
    Note: You might need to manually restart the WebSphere Customization Tools if it does not restart automatically.
  13. Verify the proper installation of the extension.
    1. Go to Help > About WebSphere Customization Tools.
    2. Click Feature Details.
    3. Make sure that the Feature Pack for CEA appears in the list.

When you have finished the installation, you can create a WebSphere Application Server on z/OS runtime environment that includes Feature Pack for CEA 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.

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.

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 CEA profile creation and augmentation.

You can create a standalone application server that is enabled for this feature pack, or you can enable an existing application server with this feature pack using profile augmentation. Creating a standalone application server is the usual approach; if you are enabling both the Feature Pack for CEA and another feature pack on the same application server, however, you would use the enabling procedure. In the second case, you create a standalone application server that is enabled for one feature pack and then immediately enable the other feature pack on that application server.

To use the Feature Pack for CEA in a Network Deployment cell, you can create a deployment manager that is enabled for the Feature Pack for CEA or enable the deployment manager in an existing Network Deployment cell for the feature pack.
