Installing and updating the WebSphere Customization Tools

To configure or migrate WebSphere® Application Server runtime environments, you must run certain customization jobs on z/OS. You can generate these jobs in two ways—by using the WebSphere Customization Tools, which run on Windows and Linux, or by running the zpmt and zmmt commands directly on the z/OS system.

About this task

The WebSphere Customization Tools include the following two tools:
  • Profile Management Tool

    The Profile Management Tool allows you to build and process definitions for creating or augmenting WebSphere Application Server profiles.

  • Migration Management Tool

    The Migration Management Tool allows you to build and process definitions for migrating WebSphere Application Server profiles.

Processing the definitions results in the generation of customization jobs that you then run on the z/OS system. You can upload directly to the z/OS system as you process a definition, or you can save it locally and upload it to the z/OS system later.

Use this task to install the current version of the WebSphere Customization Tools.
