You need to plan for the appropriate software that you will run
on your target system with z/OS® V2R1.
This topic lists software requirements as follows: - Table 1 lists the IBM® middleware and application products that
require a specific level (version, release, or PTF) so that the products
will run on z/OS V2R1.
- Table 2 lists functions of z/OS that require specific z/OS optional features, IBM middleware products, or IBM application products.
If you are upgrading from z/OS V1R12
or z/OS V1R13, you may use
the product levels on z/OS V2R1
that you used on your prior z/OS release,
as long as the product levels are still service-supported, with the
following exceptions: - If you are using any of the products in Table 1, you must use the product levels shown.
- If you are using any of the functions in Table 2, and those functions have dependencies
on IBM middleware or application
products, you must use the product levels shown (or later).
SMP/E V3R6 or SMP/E V3R5 product support for FIXCAT HOLDDATA can
be used for target system PTFs verification programmatically. The
PTFs that are documented in Table 1 and Table 2 are required for support on z/OS V2R1. These PTFs are identified
with a FIXCAT called IBM.TargetSystem-RequiredService.z/OS.V2R1,
in Enhanced HOLDDATA. A HOLDDATA type FIXCAT (fix category) is used
to associate an APAR to a particular category of fix for target system
PTFs identified as levels.
To help identify those PTFs on your current system that would be
needed for your upgrade to z/OS V2R1,
you can use the SMP/E REPORT MISSINGFIX command. Here is a sample
command used to run against the CICS® CSI: SET BDY(GLOBAL).
REPORT MISSINGFIX ZONES(CICS51T)
FIXCAT(IBM.TargetSystem-RequiredService.z/OS.V2R1).
To determine what PTFs are needed and not yet installed, you must
run the REPORT MISSINGFIX command against all the global zones you
use to support your middleware and application products.
Note: - This topic does not describe program requirements related to systems
in a sysplex using the coupling facility. For that information, see
the Parallel Sysplex® Web
site: http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/pso/.
- Requirements listed in this topic reflect the minimum levels.
- Some IBM products and z/OS elements and features have
comparable non-IBM equivalents. This topic reflects only IBM software.
- z/OS does not support service
for client operating systems whose service is withdrawn by the operating
system manufacturer.

require a specific level (version, release, or PTF) to run on z/OS V2R1| If you use this IBM product... |

JDBC and SQLJ that supports Java™ Batch
Container requirements - PTF UK69734 and UK69742 (FMID JDB9912)
Dynamic APF requirements: - The z/OS Security Server
feature is required if you want to use the RACF data security monitor program (DSMON) to
produce reports for APF-authorized programs.
FICON® requirements: - To simplify configuration definition tasks when migrating to FICON, use the z/OS HCM feature.

least [5695-014] REXX LIBR BASE V1.4 (FMID HWJ9140) installed before
attempting to use IEAVFTED. Note that IEAVFTED will not work with

feature is required if you use this function because RACF is used to obtain language information
for users.
|
| BCP (continued) |

version of Java.
RSM enhancements including Flash Express® support (that also includes dynamic
reconfiguration support and optional PLPA/COMMON page data set support),
pageable 1 MB Large Page support, and 2 GB Large Page support, requires
a separate web deliverable (the z/OS V1R13
RSM Enablement Offering web deliverable).

in the CFDUPLEXING PSP bucket. This function can be exploited by the
following products and components: - System logger, the JES2 checkpoint, WLM for multisystem enclaves
and IRD, VTAM® GR and multinode
persistent sessions (MNPS), and BatchPipes® for OS/390® V2 (5655-D45) enable system-managed
duplexing rebuild through APAR PQ49953.
- IRLM V2R1 and higher enables system-managed duplexing rebuild
for the IRLM lock structure for IMS and
DB2 data sharing.
- DB2 supports system-managed
duplexing rebuild for its system communication area. DB2 has supported user-managed duplexing rebuild
for its group buffer pools starting from DB2 V5
to the current release.
- MQSeries® enables system-managed
duplexing rebuild for shared queues in WebSphere® MQ for z/OS.
- CICS shared temporary storage
queues, coupling facility data tables, and named counters are protected
by system-managed duplexing rebuild in CICS Transaction
Server (TS) for z/OS V3.1 (5655-M15)
and later.
- IMS supports system-managed
duplexing rebuild function for IMS shared
message queue structures and IMS fast
path expedited message handler (EMH) structures. IMS also supports z/OS's system-managed duplexing
rebuild function for IMS fast
path virtual storage option (VSO) structures. This support also enables
the system-managed rebuild and automatic altering of the VSO structure
size.
TSO consoles used as extended MCS consoles:
- The z/OS Security Server
feature is required if you want to use this function because RACF is used to obtain console
security attributes.
|
| BCP (continued) |
System z® Application Assist Processors (zAAPs) are specialized processing
units that provide an economical Java execution
environment. Use of a zAAP requires one of the following or later
products: - IBM SDK for z/OS, Java 2
Technology Edition, V1 (5655-I56) at SDK 1.5 or later
- IBM 31-bit SDK for z/OS, Java 2
Technology Edition, V5 (5655-N98)
- IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java 2
Technology Edition, V5 (5655-N99)
z/OS UNIX kernel requirements:
