You can use the System Modification Program / Extended
(SMP/E) to install the Feature Pack for XML on WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Version 7.0.
What to do next
Install the Feature Pack for XML extension for the Profile
Management Tool.
- Make sure that you have installed WebSphere Customization Tools Version 7.0.0.9
or later on your workstation.
You can download the latest version
of WebSphere Customization
Tools from the following Web sites:
- Make sure that you performed the SMP/E installation of the WebSphere Application Server
Version 7.0 Feature Pack for XML on your z/OS system.
- Create a folder on your workstation to receive the file to be
downloaded from the z/OS system.
- Using FTP, download the following file in binary format from the z/OS system where the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Optional Materials program
is installed. For example:
/usr/lpp/zWebSphere_OM/V7R0/FPXML/util/WCT/xml.wct
- Open the WebSphere Customization
Tools on your workstation, and go to Help > Software Updates >
Install Extension.
- On the Extension Locations panel, click Install new extension
location.
- On the Source Archive File panel, use the Browse button
to specify the path to the xml.wct file that you
downloaded from the SMP/E location and then click Next.
- On the Summary Location panel, click Next.
- On the Install Successful panel, perform the following actions:
- Select the entire contents of the Location field and copy them
to the clipboard.
- To be certain that you captured the location, paste it into a
text-editor session.
- Click Finish.
- In the Product Configuration panel that displays, click Add
an Extension Location.
Notes:
- You can always access this panel directly by going to Help
> Software Updates > Product Configuration.
- Do not use any other feature or link on this panel other than Add
an Extension Location. The other tasks listed on this panel are
not supported in the WebSphere Customization
Tools environment.
- In the panel that displays, paste the copied location into the
Folder field and click OK.
- Click Yes on the panel asking you if you would like to
restart the WebSphere Customization
Tools.
Note: You might need to manually restart the WebSphere Customization Tools if it does
not restart automatically.
- Verify the proper installation of the extension.
- Go to Help > About WebSphere Customization
Tools.
- Click Feature Details.
- Make sure that the Feature Pack for XML appears in the list.
When you have finished the installation, you can create
a WebSphere Application
Server on z/OS runtime environment
that includes Feature Pack for XML functions. To use the feature-pack
functionality, you must create a new profile with the feature pack
functionality or augment an existing profile with the feature pack.
Important: Back up your configuration file system before augmenting
any profiles. You cannot unaugment profiles, and you might want to
restore your pre-augmentation configuration later. After you restore,
you will have to manually make any other changes that you made to
the configuration after the backup.
Use the workstation-based
Profile Management Tool, which can be launched from the WebSphere Customization Tools, or the zpmt command
to generate customization jobs and associated instructions for Feature
Pack for XML profile creation and augmentation.
You can create
a standalone application server that is enabled for this feature pack,
or you can enable an existing application server with this feature
pack using profile augmentation. If you want to enable more than one
feature pack on a single application server node, you must use the
augmentation procedure. Either create a standalone application server
that is enabled for one feature pack and then use profile augmentation
to enable the other feature packs; or start with an existing application
server and enable it for each feature pack using profile augmentation.
To
use the Feature Pack for XML in a Network Deployment cell, you can
create a deployment manager that is enabled for the Feature Pack for
XML or enable the deployment manager in an existing Network Deployment
cell for the feature pack.
