You can use the Profile Management Tool to generate the
jobs required to create a z/OS® Network
Deployment cell with the Feature Pack for XML installed.
Before you begin
The cell set of profiles that you create using this procedure
might not be appropriate for use in production environments. You might
not be able to augment the deployment manager and application server
profiles created from this template with additional features or capabilities
after they are created. If this is a concern, create a management
profile with a deployment manager and then build out the cell by federating
application servers to the deployment manager.
Procedure
- Start the Profile Management Tool.
- Optional: If you want to add a customization
location to the Customization Locations table, perform the
following actions:
- Click Add.
- Enter the path name of the location where you want to
store the customization definitions and associated data.
Important: The customization location directory must be empty
when you create a new customization location.
- Perform one of the following actions:
- Click Finish.
- Create a customization definition that includes the Feature
Pack for XML.
- In the Customization Locations table, select
the location of the customization definition that you want to create.
- Click the Customization Definitions tab if it
is not already selected.
- Click Create.
- Expand WebSphere Application
Server Feature Pack for XML Version 1.0.
- Select Cell with Feature Pack for XML Version 1.0.
- Click Next.
- Complete the fields in the panels using the configuration
values that you entered for the variables on the configuration worksheet
that you created, clicking Back and Next as necessary.
Tips:
- Hover your cursor over a field for help information.
- Click Cancel at any time to leave the creation process
without generating a customization definition.
When you have successfully entered all of the necessary
information about the panels for this type of customization definition,
the Profile Management Tool displays the definition type, location,
and name on the Customization Summary panel.
- Click Create.
- Click Finish.
Tips:
- You might want to make a note of the customization definition
name and response-file location for future reference.
- If you just make note of the name, you can get the response file
location later from the Customization Summary panel after you
select the customization definition name.
- Review the cell definition response file to confirm that
the values are correct.
- Click Process to upload the customization jobs and
instructions to the target z/OS system or export them to the file
system.
- Follow the generated instructions, which you can view using
one of the following methods:
- In the Profile Management Tool, select the desired customization
definition and select the Customization Instructions tab.
- After you upload the definition, view member BBODMINS in the target
CNTL dataset, which will be identified on the upload panel.
- 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.
Notes:
- 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 datasets; if you do not change them
all, therefore, you might experience errors that are difficult to
diagnose.
- Remember that you cannot upload new customization jobs while either
configuration dataset is open.
Results
You have set up a new z/OS Network
Deployment cell with the Feature Pack for XML installed.
