Creating 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 creating a migration definition using the z/OS Migration Management Tool.

Before you begin

  1. Install the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 or later, which includes the z/OS Migration Management Tool, on a workstation running the Windows® or Linux® Intel® operating system.
    Perform one of the following actions:
    • If Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 or later is on your product disk, follow the installation instructions that are on the disk to install it.
    • If Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 or later is not on your product disk, perform the following tasks:
      1. Go to Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server.
      2. Look under Version 6.1 for a link to the Application Server Toolkit 6.1.1 or later download page.
      3. Go to that page, and download the Application Server Toolkit 6.1.1 or later package and its installation instructions.
      4. Follow the instructions to install the Application Server Toolkit.
  2. Print and complete one of the following worksheets: Use this worksheet as a reference when you create your migration definition.

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, click Migrate.
  3. Read the welcome information, and then click Next.
  4. Proceed through the panels as displayed, clicking Back and Next as necessary.
    Enter new configuration values on the panels where necessary.
    Tips:
    When you have successfully entered all of the necessary information on the panels for this type of migration definition, the z/OS Migration Management Tool displays the definition type, location, and name on the Migration Summary panel.
  5. Click Create to build the migration definition on your workstation.
  6. Read the information on the Migration Creation Summary panel.
    Tip: You might want to make a note of the name and response-file location for future reference.
  7. Click Finish to return to the WebSphere for z/OS Migration panel.
