MVS 5.2.2 Upgrade
In March 1998 the administrative mainframe will be upgraded from
IBM's MVS/ESA V3.1.3 to MVS/ESA V5.2.2. The IBM operating system
upgrade includes 21st century compatibility and enhanced performance
management features. In addition to the IBM upgrade, new versions of
many third-party (non-IBM) software products will be installed. All
third-party upgrades were required as a result of the new version of
MVS/ESA.
There are four mandated JCL changes. Please review the document
"JCL Modifications" for detailed
explanations and examples.
New: There are now jobs available to
automate the JCL changes.
If you use TSO/ISPF, you'll want to execute the instructions in the document
"TSO/ISPF Features and Setup Instructions" to become
familiar with new features and functions, as well as the ISC recommended
configuration.
A listing of products on the administrative
mainframe, detailing which will be upgraded, is also available. Be aware
that although there are new versions for five programming languages
(COBOL, PLI, FORTRAN, and Assembler) no new compiles or load modules
are required.
If you have questions about the MVS upgrade,
please call our help line at 898-1099.
