Installing Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 on z/OS

Use SMPE to install the product code, then enableFeature Pack for EJB 3.0 on z/OS Version 6.1.

Before you begin

Install the z/OS system product code and optional materials. See Installing the product and additional software.

If you have not already done so, follow the steps in topics Preparing the base operating system and Planning for product configuration before continuing.

To install the Application Server toolkit, which contains the Profile Management tool, refer to the instructions in Installing the Application Server Toolkit.

About this task

The Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 is included as service with the WebSphere Application Server on z/OS optional materials. This task provides instructions for installing the feature pack product code and enabling your runtime environment to use the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 functions.

Perform the following steps to install the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 on z/OS systems:

Procedure

  1. From the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS support Web site, obtain the PTF numbers for Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 and order or download the PTFs. Verify that you are running the minimum required WebSphere Application Server for z/OS level, and install any WebSphere Application Server on z/OS maintenance that is required by Feature Pack for EJB 3.0.
  2. Install the support PTF for the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0. This PTF includes JCL to allocate and initialize a file system to hold product code for this feature pack. Follow the instructions contained in this PTF to create the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 file system.
  3. Install the product PTF for this feature pack. The product code on this PTF gets installed into the FPEJB3 subdirectory of the Optional Materials directory.

What to do next

When you have finished the customization process, you can create a WebSphere Application Server on z/OS runtime environment that includes Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 functions.

Use the workstation based Profile Management tool for z/OS, which can be launched from the Application Server Toolkit (AST). The Profile Management tool can be used to generate customization jobs for the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 profile creation and augmentation. The Application Server Toolkit must be at version 6.1.1.5 in order to provide support for this feature pack. (The ISPF Customization Dialog does not provide support for feature pack enabled environments.) For more information about the Profile Management tool, refer to Using the Profile Management Tool.

You can either create a stand-alone application server that is enabled for this feature pack, or enable an existing application server with this feature pack via profile augmentation. Creating a stand-alone application server is the usual approach, however; if you are enabling both the Feature Pack for Web Services and the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 on the same application server, then you would use the enable procedure. In this case, you would first create a stand-alone application server that is enabled for the Feature Pack for Web Services and then immediately enable the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 on that application server.
Note: Augmentation needs to be performed immediately after an application server is created, to prevent potential problems with previously installed applications.
To use Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 in a Network Deployment cell, you must first create a deployment manager, which is enabled for Feature Pack for EJB 3.0, or enable the deployment manager in an existing Network Deployment cell for the feature pack. (Unlike application servers, deployment managers can be augmented with a feature pack at any time, not just immediately after creation.)
Note: Deployment managers created using the "cell" profile cannot be augmented with WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 feature packs.

After a deployment manager has been augmented with one or more feature packs, you can add application server nodes by federating feature-pack enabled application servers. The deployment manger must already be enabled with all feature packs that are running on the application servers to be federated into the cell.

Note: Previously federated application server nodes, and managed application server nodes cannot be augmented with WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 feature packs. Once a feature pack-enabled application server is federated, however, any new application servers created in the federated node are automatically enabled for the feature pack.
