Uploading a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool

Before you migrate a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 5.x or 6.0.x node to Version 6.1.x, you must create a migration definition that contains JCL jobs (CNTL and DATA data sets) that you will run on z/OS during the actual migration. You can use the z/OS Migration Management Tool to create and upload the appropriate migration definition. This article leads you through the steps involved in uploading a migration definition to a target z/OS system using the z/OS Migration Management Tool.

Before you begin

Create the migration definition that you want to upload to a target z/OS system. See Creating a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool.

Procedure

  1. Start the z/OS Migration Management Tool.

    See Starting the z/OS Migration Management Tool.

  2. On the WebSphere for z/OS Migration panel, select the migration definition that you want to upload to the target z/OS system and click Upload.
  3. On the Upload Migration Definition panel, specify the necessary upload information.
    1. In the Target z/Os system field, enter the IP name or address of the z/OS system to which you want to upload the migration definition.
    2. In the User ID field, enter the user ID that you want to use to log on to the FTP server on the target z/OS system.
    3. In the Password field, enter the password that you want to use to log on to the FTP server on the target z/OS system.
    4. In the Server port field, enter the port number of the FTP server on the target z/OS system.
    5. In the Timeout field, enter the number of seconds that can elapse without any I/O operation completing before the upload is stopped.
    6. Optional: If you want to allocate the target z/OS data sets, check the box beside Allocate target z/OS data sets and complete the two fields that are activated.
      Note: If you are uploading the migration definition to a system different from the system on which you want to run the migration jobs, you must target a volume that is shared by those systems.
      1. In the Volume field, enter the volume for the target data sets.
      2. In the Unit field, enter the unit for the target data sets.
    Tips:
    • Hover your cursor over a field for help information.
    • Click Cancel to leave the process without uploading the migration definition.
  4. Click Upload to copy the migration definition to the target z/OS system.
  5. After the upload is completed, click OK to return to the WebSphere for z/OS Migration panel.
