- Configure a base portal into a base node
Perform this task during installation when you configure a base portal into a base application server node. We also perform this task if installing a portal practice runtime. This option configures a base portal into a base IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS node. This is supported with Apache Derby as the underlying database, which can be later transferred to IBM DB2 Universal Database™ for z/OS. It will give you a working base portal.- Standalone server: Verify the RACF security settings
Review the WebSphere configuration information to verify that all values on the Customization Panels are correct, particularly the port values. You should also review the type of securito that was specified during the zPMT configuration.- Standalone server: Tuning the z/OS environment
