Learn about setting up the application server z/OS® environment configuration directory, making required changes to the z/OS target system that pertain to the particular application serving environment, and starting the new environment to verify the configuration.
Configuring a z/OS system application serving environment consists of setting up the application server z/OS environment configuration directory, making required changes to the z/OS target system that pertain to the particular application serving environment, and starting the new environment to verify the configuration. Configuring these application serving environments after product installation requires planning and coordination. If you have not previously configured the application server for z/OS systems, you need to configure a practice stand-alone application server using the default options. The next step is to configure the product configuration that you want. Read about using the Profile Management Tool (z/OS only), building a practice application server for a z/OS cell and considerations about WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS maintenance for more information.
If you have already created a Network Deployment cell, follow the instructions in this article to expand the cell by creating a new federated node or federating an existing standalone application server node into the Network Deployment cell.
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application serving environment nodes are created using batch jobs that are build with the Profile Management Tool (z/OS only) or the zpmt command. After the node is configured and running, make further changes using the administrative console or scripting tool.
After you have installed the z/OS operating system, prepared your z/OS target systems, and planned your new application server environment, perform these tasks to configure and start the application server environment.
After your application serving environment is running, you can install and test your applications. You might also want to configure your web servers to interact with your z/OS system.
