3.4 Creating profiles on z/OS systemsConfiguring a WAS for z/OS consists of setting up the configuration directory for the environment and making any required changes to the z/OS target system that pertain to the particular application serving environment. Configuring these application serving environments after product installation requires a fair amount of planning and coordination. For example, when defining multiple deployment managers or appservers on a single machine or LPAR, ensure that the ports and names you select for each are unique and the z/OS environment variables, generated jobs, and so on, were all set up properly. We strongly recommend you spend time planning the installation and if possible, practice by configuring a stand-alone appserver using the default options. For more information about planning for installation, WAS V6.1: Planning and Design, SG24-7305 There are three main ways to create profiles on z/OS:
zPMT is a dialog tool that runs in the Application Server Toolkit. It is an Eclipse plug-in that allows you to do the initial setup of WAS for z/OS cells and nodes. It provides the same functionality as the ISPF dialogs plus additional features to help you. The zPMT itself does not create the cells and nodes; however, it creates batch jobs, scripts, and data files that use to perform WAS for z/OS customization tasks. These jobs, scripts, and data files form a customization definition on your workstation, which is then uploaded to z/OS where you submit the jobs. The zPMT is used to create profiles and cannot be used to perform functions like delete or list profiles. Only the manageprofiles command-line script interface can perform these functions.
As mentioned above, the ISPF customization dialogs are deprecated and will be removed in a future release, although you can still set up your profile through ISPF dialogs in V6.1. On V6.1, the windows have the same interface as on V6.0 with only few changes to accommodate the new V6.1 functions.
