Using the Profile Management Tool (z/OS only)
The Profile Management Tool (z/OS® only) is a tool, running under the WebSphere® Customization Toolbox, that you use for the initial setup of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cells and nodes.
Before you begin
Install the most current release of the WebSphere Customization Toolbox on a workstation. Read WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation information for more information.
About this task
The Profile Management Tool itself does not create the
cells and nodes; instead, it creates batch jobs, scripts, and data
files that you can use to perform WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS customization
tasks. These jobs, scripts, and data files form a customization definition
on your workstation that is then uploaded to z/OS and used for customization.
Notes:
The Profile Management Tool is intended for use by a systems programmer or WebSphere Application Server for z/OS administrator who is familiar with the z/OS target system on which the resulting WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cells and nodes will run.
The Profile Management Tool uses response files to
hold the various values used to create WebSphere Application Server for z/OS customization jobs, scripts
and files. These response files remain on the workstation where the
Profile Management Tool is run.
