As mentioned, it would be best to reorder and install it, rather than
extracting/copying over. There are newer versions of many of the
components, mostly around apache webserver.

Subject: Re: IBM Ported Tools for z/OS Migration (Was: IBM Porting
Toolkit)
There were some problem in serverpac and because of that IBM Porting
toolkit was not part of z/OS installation. But Now, I will have to
order
separately as CBPDO etc.
But I just thought that if it is possible to copy older File
system of IBM
Porting toolkit running under z/OS 1.13 and can mount it in z/OS
2.1 and
run Porting tool kit. But I am still not sure, if this solution
will work.

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.
