Preparing to migrate a z/OS federated node using the zmmt command

Before you migrate a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Version 7.0 or later node to Version 9.0, you must create Job Control Language (JCL) jobs (CNTL and DATA datasets) that you will run on z/OS during the actual migration. You can use the zmmt command to create jobs for migrating a federated node.
