Use the Profile Management Tool function provided in the
WebSphere Customization Tools to generate customization definitions
and create customized jobs for WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise and WebSphere Extended Deployment
Compute Grid.
Before you begin
- Download and install the latest version of the WebSphere Customization Tools, and install
the wve.wct and wcg.wct extension
files.
- Install and configure WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment for
z/OS.
Note: You must configure the deployment manager
node and application server node separately. If you configure the
deployment manager node and application server node at the same time,
which is also known as a cell configuration, failures occur when you
later customize the nodes for Virtual Enterprise and Compute Grid.
About this task
You can generate customization definitions using the Profile
Management Tool. A customization definition is a set of files
used to create customized jobs for the purpose of configuring Virtual Enterprise for z/OS® and Compute Grid for z/OS.
Procedure
- Start the Profile Management Tool.
Click .
After the application starts, click the Profile Management
Tool tab.
Click . After the application starts, click
the Profile Management Tool tab.
- Add an existing location or create a new location of the
customization definition that you want to create. On the Customization
Locations tab, click Add. If you
create a new location, the Version box refers to the existing version
of WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment installed on
your z/OS system.
Note: Do not use the same location you are using for
other Virtual Enterprise and Compute Grid customization
definitions.
- Generate the customization definition. On the Customization
Definitions tab, click Augment.
- Select the type of definition environment to create:
- Deployment manager
- Application Server
- Managed (custom) node
Note: When you customize the product for a federated application
server node that is not migrated, select Application server as
the type of definition environment to create. When you customize the
product for a federated application server node that has been migrated,
select Managed (custom) node as the type of
definition environment to create. When a federated application server
node itself is migrated, the migration type is changed to a managed
(custom) node.
- Complete the fields on the panels. Specify the
values for the parameters used to create your z/OS system.
- Click Augment to generate the customization
definition.
What to do next
Upload the customized jobs to your target z/OS system.
