This section tells you how to complete the "Load customization
variables" option that is on all of the main configuration tasks.
If you save your variables, you can follow these instructions to reload
those variables. When loading and saving variables it is important
that you only ever load and save variables that apply to the node
you are working on. For example, when customizing the secondary node,
do not load the variables from the primary node. Instead load the
last variables you saved for configuring the secondary node. These
are usually the variables you saved when configuring the application
server on the secondary node. You can also load the variables used
to federate the secondary node.
Before you begin
When you first run the Customization Dialog, you must point
to the data set member created by the zPMT tool. This must be done
before you can configure WebSphere® Portal.
