  2. Load the Z controller software (Step 2. Loading controller software).
  3. Load the NLS software (Step 3. Loading national language support software).
  4. Run the EQQJOBS CLIST (Step 4. Using the EQQJOBS installation aid).
  5. Install JES and SMF exits at IBM Z Workload Scheduler level (Step 5. Adding SMF and JES exits for event tracking).
  6. Update PARMLIB (Step 6. Updating SYS1.PARMLIB).
  7. Import the new default security certificates for HTTP connections (Step 8. Securing communications).
  8. Allocate VSAM and non-VSAM data sets (Step 9. Allocating data sets).
  9. Update the JCL procedure for the IBM Z Workload Scheduler address space (Step 10. Creating JCL procedures for address spaces).

  11. Update the ISPF environment (The ISPF environment).

Ensure that you follow the subsystem verification procedures described in Verifying your installation.

You can use the conversion program for both migration and fallback. You should consider testing your installation by migrating in the production environment and then falling back.

Note: Verify that all the IBM Z Workload Scheduler parameters defined in the previous release are still valid in the current release.
