Configuration Planning Spreadsheets for z/OS
The configuration planning spreadsheets were developed to create response files that can then be imported into the Profile Management Tool.
Before you begin
A well-constructed WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® cell will have a set of names and ports that are consistent and orderly. To assist in that process, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets have been developed that take a small set of key variables as input and produce a properly arranged set of names and ports and other values. Each spreadsheet creates a response file format ready for copy-and-paste into a file that can then be imported into the Profile Management Tool. Using both a spreadsheet and the Profile Management Tool greatly simplifies the process of creating a configuration and it enforces a number of naming best practices. The spreadsheets have proven to be effective and timesaving tools for administrators of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
