You can use the System Modification Program / Extended
(SMP/E) to install the Feature Pack for Modern Batch on WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Version 7.0.
What to do next
Install the Feature Pack for Modern Batch 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 Modern Batch 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/FPBATCH/util/WCT/batch.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 Modern Batch 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 Modern Batch 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 Modern Batch
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 Modern Batch in a Network Deployment cell,
you can create a deployment manager that is enabled for the Feature
Pack for Modern Batch or enable the deployment manager in an existing
Network Deployment cell for the feature pack.
