Migrating the controller with the IWSZSELFUPGRADE job stream
You can upgrade the IBM® Z Workload
Scheduler controller
in an automatic way, with only few manual steps, by using the IWSZSELFUPGRADE
job
stream that is provided with the product.
Typically, a migration
scenario includes required and optional steps. The IWSZSELFUPGRADE
job
stream runs the required steps, while a job is run to NOP all the
operations that create the optional data sets (such as Restart and
Cleanup or Reporting) that you do not want to upgrade or install.
IWSZSELFUPGRADE
is
provided in batch loader and Workload Automation Programming Language formats
that you can import by using the UPGBLOAD or UPGWAPL sample, respectively.
