Creating a z/OS application server with Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 installed

You can use the Profile Management tool to generate the required jobs to create an application server. On completion of this process, this application server will include the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0.

Before you begin

Install the feature pack code on z/OS, and mount the feature pack code filesystem on the target z/OS system.

Install the Profile Management tool 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. The Profile Management tool is accessed from the Application Server Toolkit (AST), refer to Installing the Application Server Toolkit for more details.

Plan your application server environment and fill out the following worksheet Customization tool worksheet: Stand-alone application server cell.

Restriction:
  • If you first create a standalone application server with the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 installed, you cannot later augment that application server with the Feature Pack for Web Services.
  • If you first create a standalone application server with the Feature Pack for Web Services installed, you can later augment the application server with the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 if you have never started the application server before the augmentation.

About this task

Complete the following steps to establish a new application server for a z/OS stand-alone application server cell. This includes the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 when the process is complete.

Procedure

  1. Create a customization definition that includes the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0.
    1. Launch the Profile Management tool for z/OS. For more information, refer to Starting the Profile Management tool. In the panel click on Create to generate the "Websphere for z/OS Customization definitions." Click Next.
    2. Select Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 for application environment type.
    3. Select z/OS Application Server with Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 for environment type.
    4. Enter the values from your z/OS Profile Management tool worksheet: Stand-alone application server cell with Feature Pack for EJB 3.0.

      After all the required values are entered, select Finish, to create the customization definition.

      Note: If an error occurs during the process of creating the customization definition, a window displays the location of a log file. Review the log file for more details about the issue.
  2. Review the stand-alone application server definition response file to confirm that the values are correct. Read about Reviewing the customization definition for instructions. Alternatively use the Regenoption to confirm the values are correct.
  3. Upload the customization jobs and scripts to the target z/OS system. Refer to Uploading the customization jobs to z/OS for instructions.
  4. Follow the generated instructions, which can be viewed using one of the following methods:
    • In the Profile Management tool, select the desired customization definition and click View.
    • After you have uploaded the definition, view member BBOSSINS in the target CNTL dataset, which will be identified on the upload panel.
  5. If you encounter problems caused by your values in the customization definition, modify your variables using the Profile Management tool, regenerate the instructions, and upload the customization definitions again.
    Note: Do not attempt to fix a typographical error or make a change by modifying the generated output. Many of the variables are used in multiple members of the target data sets; if you do not change them all, therefore, you might experience errors that are difficult to diagnose.
    Note: Remember that you cannot upload new customization jobs while either configuration data set is open.

Results

You have set up a new z/OS system stand-alone application server cell with the Feature Pack for EJB 3.0 installed.
