Before you migrate a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® node to Version 9.0, 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 z/OS Migration Management Tool to create a migration
definition and upload the appropriate migration jobs.
Before you begin
Supported configurations: This article is about profile configuration migration. To
migrate your applications to the latest version, use the WebSphere Application Server Migration Toolkit. For more information, see the Migration
Toolkit on WASdev.

- Install WebSphere Application Server Version 9.0 on a z/OS system
containing the earlier configuration.
- Install the most current release of WebSphere Customization Toolbox Version 9.0 on a workstation running the Windows or Linux Intel operating system.
- If the latest release of WebSphere Customization Toolbox Version 9.0 is on your product
disk, install it.
- If the latest release of WebSphere Customization Toolbox Version 9.0 is not on your product
disk, perform the following tasks:
- Go to Recommended updates for WebSphere Application Server.
- Look under Version 9.0 for a link to the WebSphere Customization Toolbox Version 9.0 download page.
- Go to that web page, and download the latest WebSphere Customization Toolbox Version 9.0 package.

Tip: You can have multiple copies
of WebSphere Customization Toolbox concurrently
installed. If you want to do this (to make sure that the new version
is working before deleting the old version for example), the only
requirement is that you install each version at a different location.
- Install the new WebSphere Customization Toolbox Version 9.0 package.
Procedure
- Open the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.
- If the z/OS Migration Management Tool
is not already open, perform the following actions:
- Open the Welcome tab, and select z/OS Migration Management
Tool.
- Read the Welcome information, and then click Launch Selected Tool.
