You can use the Profile Management tool to enable the SDO
feature of the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.1.0 or later on an
existing z/OS deployment manager. When this task is complete, you
can federate application servers that have been enabled for the feature
into a Network Deployment cell.
Procedure
- Start the Profile Management Tool.
Read Starting the Profile Management Tool for more information.
- Create a customization definition for augmenting a profile
with the SDO feature of the Feature Pack for SCA.
For
more information, read the following articles:
- 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 Augment.
- Select Management.
- Click Next.
- Select Management with the SDO feature of the Feature
Pack for SCA 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 on 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 customization 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 the IWOKINSM job in the
target CNTL dataset, which contains a text version of the instructions.
- 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
Your existing z/OS deployment manager is now enabled for the
SDO feature of the Feature Pack for SCA.
