Preparing to migrate a stand-alone application server node
to WebSphere® Application Server Versão 9.0 for z/OS® includes
activities related to inventorying your existing configuration as
well as generating CNTL and DATA datasets that you will use in the
actual migration.

Read Overview of migration, coexistence, and interoperability and Migration considerations.
Migrating a stand-alone application server node is relatively
simple because it consists of a single server and a daemon.

You might have configured
multiple application servers inside a stand-alone application server
node. Generally, this configuration is not recommended; but if you
have this configuration, the migration utilities will migrate all
servers in the node just as it would all the servers in a Network
Deployment application server node.
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
Versão 9.0 supplies migration
jobs in the target dataset that you allocate when you generate your
migration jobs. Use these jobs to perform the actual migration.
- BBOWMG1B: Sets an XML flag to indicate the transaction logs are
to be cleared.
- BBOWMG2B: Sets the XML flag back to the normal state.
- BBOMBHFS or BBOMBZFS: Allocates and mounts the file system that
will be the target for the migration.
- BBOWMG3B: Performs the migration.
- BBOWBPRO: Creates the Websphere Application Server home and default
profile.
- BBOWBPRE: Runs the migration pre-upgrade process.
- BBOWBPOS: Runs the migration post-upgrade and finish-up (change
file permission) processes.
- BBOMBCP: Copies the generated Job Control Language (JCL) procedures
to start the servers to the specified procedure library. If your Versão 9.0 configuration uses
different JCL start procedure names, this utility updates the new Versão 9.0 configuration, and
substitutes your new JCL names for the names that existed in your
previous configuration.

- Produce migration CNTL and DATA datasets for the node.
You must provide a set of CNTL and DATA datasets for the
migration utilities to read in order to perform the migration. Generate
a set of customized jobs for the node in your configuration that you
want to migrate.

Some important points
about these steps:
The purpose of creating these customized CNTL and DATA datasets is to give the migration
utilities access to key information about your new Versão 9.0
configuration as well as access to shell scripts customized with this new information. The migration
utilities get the bulk of the configuration information from your existing Versão 7.0 ou posterior configuration file system.
