Detailed System Requirements for CICS TS and related products

• For CICS Explorer, refer to CICS Explorer versions that provide support for new releases of CICS TS as it not listed in the CICS Detailed System Requirements.  
• Under the "Supported Software" tab in the Detailed System Requirements, you will find the versions of IBM products that are supported. If you click on the "Notes" or "Details" column for each product, you will find details like APARs that must be applied to enable support.
• Detailed System Requirements are likely to only include enablement APARs that are known at general availability (GA). Therefore, to ensure you install all required service,  IBM strongly recommends that you refer to both the "Service Recommendations" and "Cross Product Dependencies" (step 3) sections of PSP bucket information for IBM Z products.
• The CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Developer Trial is intended as a try-before-you-buy version of the full CICS TS product. CICS TS Developer Trial is free of charge and for evaluation (non-production) use only, offering a full set of features but with restricted performance and limited operational lifespan. For more information about support see the CICS Transaction Sever for z/OS Developer Trial web page and Support for CICS TS Developer Trial.
