Remove WebSphere constructs from previous releases

Description

In previous releases of z/OSMF, your installation configured an instance of IBM® WebSphere® Application Server OEM Edition for z/OS® for each instance of z/OSMF. This process produced a number of WebSphere constructs on your system, such as configuration files and log files, and the WebSphere servant region user ID. As of z/OSMF V2R1, these constructs are no longer needed; you can remove them.

Table 1 provides more details about this migration action. Use this information to plan your changes to the system.

Steps to take

To find the residual constructs, check the directories and files under mount point /zWebSphereOEM/V7R0/config1. You can remove these constructs as part of your migration to z/OSMF V2R1.

Also, check for the WebSphere servant region user ID and any associated security authorizations in your security product. In previous releases, this user ID was defined on variable IZU_SERVANT_USERID in your configuration file or override file. By default, the user ID is WSSRU1.
