Upgrade Guide for DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 > Upgrading a Database from the Mainframe >

Preparing the zSeries Host Environment

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: Development (mainframe-centric) environment and Production environment.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

The results of the Siebel Upgrade Wizard are stored in the output directory that you specified in Table 18.

The first step in preparing the zSeries host environment is to transfer the output files generated by the Siebel Upgrade Wizard from the output directory on the midtier into datasets on the zSeries host. Once you have transferred these files, you need to create and populate the target datasets. The last step in preparing the zSeries host environment is to modify the populated target datasets to meet your job execution requirements. To accomplish these tasks, complete the following procedures:

• Prerequisites for Upgrade Procedures on the zSeries
• Transferring JCL, SQL, and Binary Files to the zSeries Host
• Defining and Allocating zSeries Setup Datasets
• Setting Up the Upgrade Environment on the zSeries Host
• Preparing for Table Creation (PRET) on the Source Database
