Additional step to migrate to a System z environment

If you use the Rational Team Concert™ builds to target a System z® environment, the migration help step must be preceded by the creation of a zComponent project and of one or more zFolder folders. In this case, you must indicate the location of the sources that are produced by the migration help function.

To target a System z environment, you must create a zComponent project to store the files that are produced by the migration. To do so, use the rpp --zCompCreation command line, or create a project in Rational Team Concert.

You are advised to follow two recommendations:
  • Store the model files that are related to a Library in an Eclipse project that will be loaded into a Rational Team Concert component.
  • Store the source files that are generated from the same Library in another Eclipse zComponent project and even, if necessary, in another Rational Team Concert component.

You can separate the batch COBOL files (Programs) from the online COBOL files (Screens and Servers) by storing them in different zFolder folders.
