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 zmmt command
to create jobs for migrating a stand-alone application server.
Before you begin
