Installing the WebSphere Customization Toolbox

You require WebSphere Customization Toolbox V8.5 to install the required product extension file for IBM BPM, and to create the response files and customized JCL jobs that can be used to create and augment the profile.

The WebSphere Customization Toolbox (including the required profile and migration management tools) is supported on Windows and Linux operating systems, so you require a Windows or Linux workstation on which to download and install the toolbox.

To obtain access to the WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation packages, you require an IBM ID and password. If you do not already have an ID and a password, go to http://www.ibm.com and click Register to complete the IBM registration process.

IBM Installation Manager is also required for installing the WebSphere Customization Toolbox. Installation Manager is a tool that you can use to install and maintain IBM software packages. If Installation Manager is not yet installed on the Windows or Linux workstation, you can download the latest version of the installation package from the Installation Manager downloads page. For more information about installing and running Installation Manager, see the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.

Procedure

1. Start Installation Manager.

2. Click File > Preferences.

3. From the Preferences window, click Repositories if not already selected.

4. Use the Add Repository button to configure a repository connection to one of the following download sites where the WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation packages are stored. To connect to these download sites, you must authenticate using your IBM ID and password.
   • http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v85: Connect to this repository to download the WebSphere Customization Toolbox version that is available with a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V8.0 license.
   • http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/V85WASSupplementsILAN: Connect to this repository to download the WebSphere Customization Toolbox (ILAN) version. The ILAN version is freely available and is identical to the licensed WebSphere Customization Toolbox, but is a no-charge, non-supported, and non-warranted version.

5. Click OK to close the Preferences window.

6. Click Install to install the relevant WebSphere Customization Toolbox version. At a minimum, select the z/OS profile and migration management tools for installation with the toolbox.

   For more information about installing the WebSphere Customization Toolbox, go to the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Information Center, and search for WebSphere Customization Toolbox.
