Enabling an existing z/OS deployment manager for Feature Pack for EJB 3.0

You can use the Profile Management tool to enable the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 on an existing z/OS deployment manager. This topic includes steps to enable the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 on an existing deployment manager. When this task is complete, you can federate the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0-enabled application servers into a Network Deployment cell, if desired.

Before you begin

Install the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 code on z/OS, and mount the feature pack code filesystem on the target z/OS system.

Install the Profile Management fool for z/OS at the Version 6.1.1.5 level, or upgrade an existing copy of the Profile Management tool for z/OS to Version 6.1.1.5. For more information about installing the Profile Management tool, refer to Installing the Application Server Toolkit and Using the Profile Management Tool.

Select the deployment manager that you want to enable for the feature pack.

About this task

Use the following steps to enable the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 on an existing deployment manager.

Procedure

  1. Launch the Profile Management tool for z/OS.
  2. From the customization profile type panel, select the profile you want augmented, click the Augment button.
    1. Read the Welcome page, click Next.
    2. On the Environment panel, select z/OS Deployment manager, click Next.
    3. On the Augment type selection panel, select z/OS Deployment Manager with Feature Pack for EJB 3.0, click Next.
    4. Select Enable an existing deployment manager with Feature Pack for EJB 3.0, click Next.
  3. Provide the requested values for the customization profile, and create the response file.
    Note: If an error should occur during this process, a window will display the location of a log file. Review the log file for more details about the error.
  4. At this time the Profile Management tool has created a response file and a customization job that can be used to augment a WebSphere for deployment manager. This augmentation will update the runtime profile to configure Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 on the target node based on the information you provided. You have two choices, the upload action or the run action.

    To use the upload action. The upload action uploads the customization job and associated data that was created to the target z/OS system. Submit the customization job to generate the required symbolic links and update the target profile.

    1. Upload the customization jobs. Use the Profile Management tool upload action to upload the customization job and associated data to target z/OS system. The data is written to the following partitioned data sets:
      • hlq.CNTL
      • hlq.DATA
    2. Stop the target deployment manager.
    3. Back up the target configuration file system.
    4. Run the job IWOFAUGD. This job generates two sets of symbolic links. The first set of symbolic links is for the target configuration file system to the feature pack enablement code install image. The second set of symbolic links is to the specified feature pack install image. It also updates the profile in the target configuration file system for the specified feature pack.
    5. Restart the deployment manager.
    To use the run action.
    Note: The run action is not yet supported.
    The run action will generate the required symbolic links and updates the target profile. This action requires an active remote exec daemon (rexecd) on the target z/OS system.
    1. Stop the target deployment manager.
    2. Back up the target configuration file system.
    3. Update the target profile. Use the Profile Management tool run action to update the target profile. The run action generates two sets of symbolic links. The first set of symbolic links is for the target configuration file system to the feature pack enablement code install image. The second set of symbolic links is to the specified feature pack install image. The action completes both of these before it updates the profile.
    4. Restart the deployment manager.

Results

Your existing z/OS deployment manager is now enabled for the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0.
