Before you migrate a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Version 6.1 or later node to Version 8.5, 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. Learn how to
upload migration jobs to a target z/OS system
using the z/OS Migration Management Tool. Also learn how
to export the jobs for a migration definition to a directory on the
local file system using the z/OS Migration Management Tool.
Before you begin
Supported configurations: This
article 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.

the migration definition for which you want to upload jobs to a target z/OS system. Read Creating a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool for more information.
Procedure
- Start the z/OS Migration Management Tool.
Read Starting the z/OS Migration Management Tool for more information.
- In the Migration Locations table, select the location of
the migration definition that you want to process.
- In the Migration Definitions table, select the migration
definition that you want to process.
- Click Process.
- On the Select Process Type panel, select the type of processing
that you want to perform on the migration definition.
- Click Next.
- Depending on the type of process that you selected, perform
one of the following actions:
- On the Upload Migration Definition panel, specify the necessary
upload information.
- In the Target z/OS system field, enter
the IP name or address of the z/OS system to which you want to
upload the migration jobs.
- In the User ID field, enter the user ID
that you want to use to log on to the FTP server on the target z/OS system.
- In the Password field, enter the password
for the user ID that you want to use to log on to the FTP server on
the target z/OS system.
- In the Server port field, enter the port
number of the FTP server on the target z/OS system.
- In the Timeout field, enter the number
of seconds that can elapse without any I/O operation completing before
the upload is stopped.
- If you want to allocate the target z/OS datasets,
select Allocate target z/OS datasets and complete
the two fields that are activated.
Note: If you are uploading the migration
jobs to a system different from the system on which you want to run
the jobs, you must target a volume that is shared by those systems.
- In the Volume field, enter the volume for
the target datasets.
- In the Unit field, enter the unit for the
target datasets.
- On the Export Migration Definition panel, specify the directory
to which you want to export migration jobs.
