The IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS installation can be configured manually if required, but this is not recommended. This section details the manual steps required to configure WebSphere Application Server for z/OS for information purposes only.
It is worth noting that any settings entered under the Resources section of the Administrative Console can be configured at multiple levels that control the JNDI scope. These include cell, node, or server. Upon selecting a Resource, the top of the main browser window shows this scope and allows the various resources in the current scope to be viewed. The scope, and in turn the location of any resources set, should be based upon planned use, i.e. if working in a cluster it may not be necessary to set the same settings on each server, so the scope may be set to cell or node.
