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.
