at the supported level and has the following features installed:
Important: Besides ensuring that the existing
WebSphere Application
Server instance is at
the supported level, you will also need to ensure that

- Ensure that all subsystems, such as Resource Recovery Services
(RRS), are set up to your environment requirements for the portal

example, verify your security setup on WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS. This can
be performed either before or after the SMP/E installation of the

- Ensure Java Database Connectivity requirements are met.
For information, see DB2 Universal Database for OS/390
and z/OS: Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java(TM).
Also refer to the Redbooks publication DB2 for z/OS and OS/390: Ready for Java SG24-6435-00.
- If you plan on using DB2® for z/OS for a database
transfer or as a database user registry or a property extension (lookaside)
database, change the Common Service Area (CSA) setting; see the appropriate
link for information about calculating and setting the CSA value to
meet your business needs:
