You are apparently referring to the IBM Ported Tools for z/OS (IBM Program Number 5655-M23), and you'd like to migrate/update the Ported Tools you have in your z/OS 1.11 installation to a new z/OS 2.1 installation.
For a variety of reasons, I wouldn't do what you're suggesting. I assume you installed z/OS 2.1 via IBM ServerPac and (hopefully) 5655-M23 was included in your ServerPac. Do you see anything in the accompanying publication "ServerPac: Installing Your Order," an important piece of documentation that's customized for your particular ServerPac? If for some reason your ServerPac didn't include the IBM Ported Tools -- or perhaps even if it did -- you may want to also review the Program Directory for the IBM Ported Tools. You can find a link to the Program Directory here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/unix/port_tools.html In short, I'd recommend bringing your IBM Ported Tools up to the current releases (including service -- very important) using the IBM-recommended installation path(s). Then move what you need (and only what you need) over from your previous installation keeping in mind the migration considerations IBM describes. For example, when you're updating to the IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5 for z/OS you'd obviously move your Web content over, and, as an example, if you're using the HTTP Server's LDAP support you'll likely want to switch over to the new LDAP configuration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, zEnterprise Industry Solutions, AP/GCG/MEA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
