This section describes the IBM support available for Developer for z/OS.
Contact your IBM representative for specific information about available program services.
Before you install Developer for z/OS, make sure that you have reviewed the current Preventive Service Planning (PSP) information. Review the PSP Bucket for General Information, Installation Documentation, and the Cross Product Dependencies sections. For the Recommended Service section, instead of reviewing the PSP Bucket, it is recommended you use the IBM.PRODUCTINSTALL-REQUIREDSERVICE fix category in SMP/E to ensure you have all the recommended service installed. Use the FIXCAT(IBM.PRODUCTINSTALL-REQUIREDSERVICE) operand on the APPLY CHECK command.
If you obtained Developer for z/OS Identifier as part of a CBPDO, HOLDDATA is included.
If the CBPDO for Developer for z/OS is older than two weeks by the time you install the product materials, you can obtain the latest PSP Bucket information by searching on the following website:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibmsearch
You can also contact the IBM Support Center to obtain the latest PSP Bucket information.
For program support, access the Software Support Website at https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/.
To view the Preventive Service Planning (PSP) for the products that constitute Developer for z/OS, refer to the following Program Directories that are supplied with the product.
Report any problems which you feel might be an error in the product materials to your IBM Support Center. You may be asked to gather and submit additional diagnostics to assist the IBM Support Center in their analysis.
To identify the component IDs (COMPID) for the products that constitute Developer for z/OS, refer to the following Program Directories that are supplied with the product.
This section identifies the program and relevant service levels of Developer for z/OS. The program level refers to the APAR fixes that have been incorporated into the program. The service level refers to the PTFs that have been incorporated into the program.
To view the list of APAR fixes against the previous releases for the products that constitute Developer for z/OS, refer to the following Program Directories that are supplied with the product.
Frequently check the Developer for z/OS PSP Bucket for HIPER and SPECIAL attention PTFs against all FMIDs that you must install. You can also receive the latest HOLDDATA, then add the FIXCAT(IBM.PRODUCTINSTALL-REQUIREDSERVICE) operand on your APPLY CHECK command. This will allow you to review the recommended and critical service that should be installed with your FMIDs.
To view the list of PTF fixes against the previous releases for the products that constitute Developer for z/OS, refer to the following Program Directories that are supplied with the product.
The following sections identify the system requirements for installing and activating Developer for z/OS. The following terminology is used:
The program might have specific operating system or product level requirements for using processes, such as binder or assembly utilities during the installation.
The program might have specific product level requirements, such as needing access to the library of another product for link-edits. These requirements, either mandatory or optional, might directly affect the element during the installation or in its basic or enhanced operation.
In many cases, you can use a system as both a driving system and a target system. However, you can make a separate IPL-able clone of the running system to use as a target system. The clone must include copies of all system libraries that SMP/E updates, copies of the SMP/E CSI data sets that describe the system libraries, and your PARMLIB and PROCLIB.
Use separate driving and target systems in the following situations:
