About this task

Step 12 towards the goal: Migrating an administrative agent profile and its registered set of managed base application servers on z/OS

Procedure

If you are running a mixed-cell environment, add STEPLIB statements that include the previous version's load modules to the migrated Daemon's startup proc. STEPLIB statements apply to WebSphere® Application Server Version 6.1 and earlier. If you are running with multiple nodes on the same LPAR, or if you are running with a node on the same LPAR as the migrated DMGR (which will create a mixed cell environment), you must add STEPLIB statements that include the previous version's load modules to the migrated Daemon's startup proc. This is due to the fact that the Daemon must run at the highest WebSphere Application Server level on that LPAR. This is necessary if for any reason you need to stop and restart the down level node agent or application server. For example, after migration of the DMGR, the BBO7DMN procedure was modified to include:
//*                                            
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xxxxxxxx.SBBOLD2    
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xxxxxxxx.SBBOLOAD   
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xxxxxxxx.SBBOLPA
Where xxxxxxxx are pointers to the previous WebSphere Application Server level. This enables the Daemon to manage the migrated DMGR and previous level node agents.
