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
- Launch the Profile Management tool for z/OS.
- From the customization profile type panel, select the profile you
want augmented, click the Augment button.
- Read the Welcome page, click Next.
- On the Environment panel, select z/OS Deployment manager, click Next.
- On the Augment type selection panel, select z/OS Deployment Manager
with Feature Pack for EJB 3.0, click Next.
- Select Enable an existing deployment manager with Feature
Pack for EJB 3.0, click Next.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- Stop the target deployment manager.
- Back up the target configuration file system.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stop the target deployment manager.
- Back up the target configuration file system.
- 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.
- Restart the deployment manager.
Results
Your existing z/OS deployment manager is now enabled for the Feature
Pack for EJB 3.0.
