Creating and processing customization definitions for profiles
When you create a customization definition for
a profile, you must collectively specify configuration parameters
for both WebSphere® Application
Server and IBM® Business Process Manager.
When you process this combined configuration, you obtain a single set of instructions and a single set of JCL jobs for creating a fully customized IBM Business Process Manager deployment manager or empty managed node.
About this task
You require a Windows or Linux workstation to create customization
definitions, but can process customization definitions on Windows, Linux,
or the z/OS® system. You can
use either the z/OS Profile
Management Tool (zPMT) or the zpmt.sh script as
follows:
- zPMT is a component of the WebSphere Customization Toolbox and runs on Windows or Linux workstations. You can use the zPMT GUI to create a customization definition that specifies the configuration values for WebSphere Application Server and IBM Business Process Manager. You can also use zPMT to process the customization definition in order to generate and upload customized jobs and other files to the target z/OS system.
- The zpmt.sh script is available in your product file system, and runs under z/OS rather than on a workstation. If you have an existing customization response file that specifies the configuration values for WebSphere Application Server and IBM Business Process Manager, you can run the zpmt.sh script directly from the z/OS system to create the same jobs and files as zPMT. You will find this script most useful after you have completed several zPMT customizations.
Both zPMT and the zpmt.sh script are intended for use by a system programmer or administrator who is familiar with the z/OS target system on which the resulting IBM Business Process Manager cells and nodes will run.
