Upgrade the server, agents, and agent relays before upgrading the z/OS®
deployment tools.
About this task
If you have version data and deployment results that were created by a version of the z/OS
deployment tools prior to version 6.1.1, take the following migration steps. If you do not have
version data or deployment results from an earlier version of the product, do not follow these
steps.
Procedure
- Determine the repository directory and deployment base directory in the current installation of
the product. The repository directory is the value of the ucd.repository property in the
profile data set. The location of the profile data set is recorded in the
ISPF.conf file. The deployment base directory is typically set in the
environment property deploy.base.path.
- To use the same directories for the newer version of the product, install the z/OS
deployment tools and specify the same repository directory and deployment base directory when you
run the install-toolkit.sh script. To use different directories, accept the defaults when you run the
install-toolkit.sh script, and then copy files to the new directories.
- Verify the migration by deploying an existing version of a component and by running a rollback
process.
