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.
Procedure
- If the latest release of WebSphere Customization Tools
is on your product disk, install it.
- If the latest release of WebSphere Customization Tools
is not on your product disk, perform the following tasks:
- Create a folder on your workstation to receive the downloaded
installation file.
- Go to the appropriate WebSphere Customization Tools
Web site.
- Download the latest WebSphere Customization Tools package
to the folder that you created to receive the file.
- Use the instructions on the Web site to install the
new WebSphere Customization Tools package.
- Optional: Uninstall any earlier releases
of WebSphere Customization Tools from your system.
Tips:
- You can have multiple copies of the WebSphere Customization
Tools concurrently installed. If you want to do this (to make sure
that the new version is working before deleting the old version for
example), the only requirement is that you install each version at
a different location.
- Uninstalling a copy of the WebSphere Customization
Tools does not delete any customization locations or definitions.
Those are preserved unless you manually delete them.
