, dated November 27, 2001.
Application Flexibility64-Bit Middleware Support: z/OS V1R3 provides the operating system support to build and execute new 64-bit programs that take advantage of large 64-bit virtual data addressability. Binder Support for Very Long Symbols: The z/OS V1R3 Binder can now process modules containing external symbols up to 32K-1 bytes in length, matching current compiler limits. zFS: The Distributed File Service includes the Sever Message Block (SMB) server and zSeries File System support for the extended authorization provided by UNIX ACLs. zFS has also been enhanced to participate in normal UNIX file system shutdown processing which will reduce zFS operational and restart considerations. zFS administration has been improved with the capability to support zFS file system mount statements in the BPXPRMxx parameter library member.
Euro Sign Support:
z/OS V1R3 includes Euro Currency Symbol support for an
additional set of countries and languages.
Ease-of-Use through Innovative TechnologyTSO/E Dynamic Broadcast Support: TSO/E allows more flexible broadcast data set processing:
z/OS msys for Operations — Self-Healing: z/OS Managed System Infrastructure for Operations (msys for Operations) has been a base element of z/OS since V1R2. It incorporates well-proven automation technology into z/OS. msys for Operations has been enriched by new self-healing and ease-of-use functions for critical system and sysplex resources and to simplify the day-to-day operation of a z/OS Parallel Sysplex cluster. With z/OS V1R3, msys for Operations has been enhanced to execute hardware functions on a coupling facility and on systems joining a Parallel Sysplex. Monitoring of system events has been extended to avoid system outage conditions due to resource shortages (such as auxiliary storage shortage) or sysplex-wide outages due to operator mistakes or system load. Critical resources in a sysplex that are provided with these self-healing mechanisms are tasks issuing enquiry (ENQ) requests, auxiliary storage, or structures in pending state. msys for Operations will identify long-blocking tasks in contention, and resolve this contention based on a user-defined policy. Furthermore, msys for Operations will resolve auxiliary storage shortages by adding local page data sets and relieves structures from pending state upon a Coupling Facility Resource Manager (CFRM) policy switch. With msys for Operations, you can easily manage all the systems in a Parallel Sysplex cluster, Coupling Facilities (CFs) and their structures, and couple data sets (CDS). By automating typical operator tasks and events in a Parallel Sysplex, it reduces operations complexity and improves system recoverability, enhancing the availability of Parallel Sysplex clusters. Distinct displays of relevant information allow greater operational awareness, providing ease of use. It is also possible to deactivate and activate a CF when backing it up to a spare CF with one interactive command (that is, with one command, customers will be able to activate a spare CF, to drain the current CF, rebuild its structures in the spare CF, release the current structure connections, reconnect them to the spare CF, and deactivate the current CF). Additionally, msys for Operations provides new functions if a system does not behave as expected after an IPL. Systems leaving a sysplex will no longer require an operator action. A user predefined action will be taken instead. The msys for Operations operator interface has been extended to allow for setting sender paths to ONLINE/OFFLINE and to automatically start duplexing after rebuilding a duplexed structure. In summary, customer benefits include:
WLM Self-Optimizing Advances: WLM and SDSF are enhanced to allow operators or system programmers to change the service characteristics of work units running as WLM enclaves. This provides improved operational management of distributed DB2 scalable Web server and WebSphere™ 4.0 work requests. System availability is impacted when certain events, such as an SVC dump, cause a burst of paging activity that delays page fault resolution for critical work loads. Paging datasets on Enterprise Storage Servers can now use parallel access volumes to reduce page outs from blocking page-in operations to enhance the availability and performance of z/OS. Starting with z/OS V1R3, WLM Compatibility Mode is no longer supported. Additional Enhancements to Data Access and Storage Management: In z/OS V1R3, DFSMS provides additional enhancements to availability, system throughput, and usability for data access and storage management:
In addition, several enhancements improve catalog problem determination, serviceability, and operation.
For additional information about data access and storage management, visit: z/OS Network File System (NFS) Enhancements: z/OS NFS provides a flexible option for exchange of data between z/OS systems or between z/OS and other platforms (AIX®, NT) that support the NFS protocols. It supports HFS, zFS, and conventional data formats. z/OS NFS now supports native ASCII environments and file tagging for zFS and HFS files. This support includes single-byte data translation for zFS and HFS files using Unicode Services. In addition, multiple NFS servers will now be allowed to run on one S/390® server. All of these enhancements serve to provide more flexibility and increased throughput. The enhancements are also available on OS/390 V2R10 and on earlier releases of z/OS with APAR OW49104 and APAR OW48013. For more detailed information, visit: Page Data Set Protection: When two systems accidentally use the same physical page data set, it is difficult to detect and diagnose. It causes integrity and/or system failures. Page data set protection can prevent two systems from accidentally using the same physical data set. Using a two-tier mechanism, this support will prevent the same data set from being used when possible, and where not possible, it will protect the integrity of the system by causing system termination when it is detected. Full detection requires that the support be installed on all systems. Wizards and Other Tools: New and updated Web-based wizards simplify your planning and configuration needs by exploiting recommended values and by providing customized checklists and outputs for you to use.

Accessibility by People with DisabilitiesThe following features support use by people with disabilities:
Product Positioningz/OS is the next generation of the OS/390 operating system. Together with a zSeries server, it offers 64-bit addressing and IRD. Customers can receive optimal processing capabilities when running z/OS on a zSeries server. However, z/OS does not require a zSeries server, nor does a zSeries server require that you run z/OS. Customers are encouraged to implement goal mode before installing z/OS V1R3, rather than making both changes concurrently. Statement of DirectionIBM plans to take the following actions in the future.

e-business EnablingSecurity for Your e-business: The PKI Services component of the Security Server is updated to include the following enhancements:
Networking for Large-Scale e-business: Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is the base technology of the next generation Internet. IPv6 is an evolution of the current Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and addresses many of the shortcomings of IPv4 — in particular, the very limited number of IPv4 addresses left for use. With IPv6, there is practically an unlimited number of IP addresses available.
z/OS IPv6 support will be added so it coexists with IPv4 functions; all
existing IPv4 functions are retained. IPv4 interfaces can coexist with
IPv6 interfaces on a z/OS TCP/IP host. z/OS applications that have been
enabled for IPv6 communication will communicate in a seamless manner over
both IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces. Applications that have not yet been
enabled for IPv6 communication will continue to communicate over IPv4
interfaces. IPv6 network interfaces will be implemented through use of
the IBM z/OS V1R4 will be the first release to support IPv6 functions, and IPv6 support will continue to be enhanced in releases following V1R4. z/OS V1R4 will include support for the basic IPv6 functions such as stateless autoconfiguration, static IPv6 routing tables, static Virtual IPv6 Addresses (VIPA), basic sockets API enhancements for IPv6, and selected applications enabled for IPv6. Additional V1R4 e-business networking enhancements will include:
Application FlexibilityDistributed File Service Support: The Distributed File Service z/OS V1R4 support will include both SMB and zFS enhancements. The SMB enhancements will include:
zFS enhancements will include:
Ease-of-Use through Innovative TechnologyUNIX® Security Management Usability Enhancements: IBM will continue to provide more flexibility in implementing UNIX on z/OS with the following enhancements:
These functions simplify UNIX administration on z/OS and provide options that are consistent with other UNIX platforms. Parallel Sysplex® Support: z/OS V1R4 will provide the ability for sysplex-wide dynamic VIPAs for TCP/IP connections to have the same single IP address appearance for application instances initiating outbound connections within a sysplex as Sysplex Distributor provides for inbound connections. This capability simplifies IP address and workload management, improves security, and allows greater scalability and flexibility. msys for Setup Support: The value of msys for Setup is extended in z/OS V1R4 by enhancing the msys for Setup framework and providing additional exploitation. Some framework highlights are:
In addition to these framework highlights, the LDAP plug-in will provide the ability to configure multiple LDAP servers. The plug-in will make all the necessary configuration updates to create usable LDAP servers. Also, configuration parameters (in slapd.conf, DSNAOINI, and slapd.envars) will be discovered automatically for servers which are established. Statement of DirectionIBM plans to take the following actions in the future.
These statements represent current intentions of IBM. IBM development plans are subject to change or withdrawal without further notice. Any reliance on this Statement of Direction is at the relying party's sole risk and will not create any liability or obligation for IBM. z/OS V1R3 Product Contentz/OS is composed of base elements and optional features. Optional features are priced and unpriced. To learn more about these elements and features, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) , which is available by visiting: Replacing Base Elements: You have the ability to replace a z/OS base function with a commercially available product that provides a similar function. Contact an IBM representative for qualification and pricing information. All z/OS integrated testing results and performance claims are voided with such replacement. Export Considerations: The following z/OS functions have export considerations.
Enabling Optional Priced Features:
z/OS optionally priced features use a z/OS product registration
service, together with product policy statements to determine whether or
not the z/OS priced feature has been ordered and should run. Optionally
priced features that are ordered concurrently with z/OS will be shipped
by IBM together with policy statements in PARMLIB that enable the ordered
priced features. z/OS priced features which have not been ordered will
be shipped with z/OS, but with policy statements that disable the
unordered features. If the customer subsequently enables any of the
optional priced features, those features also become subject to the
payment terms of the customer's existing z/OS license as described in the
z/OS Licensed Program Specifications
(GA22-7503). Customers must notify IBM when they enable an optional
feature that was shipped disabled. A detailed description of the
enablement support is available in the
z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation
(GA22-7504).
Notable Changes in z/OS V1R3
Notable Changes in z/OS V1R4Planned z/OS V1R4 changes will be made to the following functions:
Program Services
Central service for suspected defects in z/OS code is provided by the IBM
Support Center within the customer's geography. On-site (local) support,
although available in many geographies, is provided as part of IBM's
portfolio of fee-based services.
Service PolicyIBM plans to provide service support for each release of z/OS for three years following its general availability date. IBM, at its discretion, may choose to leave a release supported for more than three years. At least twelve months' written notice prior to the withdrawal of service for a version or release will be given for z/OS.
Existing coexistence and migration rules continue to apply and should be
taken into account in planning future migrations. Refer to
General Coexistence, Release Migrations, and Fallback
for additional information.
Recommended Service UpgradeIBM has redefined the Recommended Service Upgrade (RSU) for the z/OS platform based on additional Consolidated Service Testing (CST). Testing of service for the following subsystems and products is now being done in a customer-like sysplex environment, using industry representative workloads.
Service will be tested in this consolidated service test environment on a quarterly basis. The resulting RSU is the new recommended level of service. Additionally, testing will be done on Hipers, PE Fixes, and other fixes as warranted, on a monthly basis. These monthly RSUs are recommended as we have found a correlation between availability and maintenance currency. As always, customers should review Hipers and PE fixes on a regular basis and install those that apply to their environment. For more information about CST, ordering and installing the redefined recommended service, refer to: Notes
Education SupportThe following worldwide courses are available for classroom delivery:
In the U.S. and Canada call 800-IBM-TEACH (426-8322) to enroll in one or more of these classes. Technical InformationHardware Requirementsz/OS V1R3 runs on the following IBM servers:
z/OS V1R4 and the release expected in first half of 2003 are planned to
run on the same IBM servers as listed for z/OS V1R3.
Software RequirementsThe z/OS base is an IPL-able system. There are no software prerequisites in order to IPL. Specific functions may require additional products not included in z/OS base, or in the optional features of z/OS. Refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) for a listing of specific software requirements. It is available on the Web at: General Coexistence, Release Migrations, and Fallbackz/OS continues to give you compatibility and flexibility as you migrate systems in a multisystem configuration by allowing several releases of OS/390 and z/OS to coexist. This includes non-Parallel Sysplex and Parallel Sysplex multisystem configurations. Coexistence allows systems within a multisystem configuration to be upgraded to a new release level of the operating system one system at a time. This is contingent on the fact that the release you are migrating to can coexist with the lowest release running in your multisystem configuration. As previously described in Software Announcement 200-352 , dated October 3, 2000, OS/390 V2R9, V2R10, z/OS V1R1, and z/OS V1R2 are coexistence-supported with z/OS V1R3. This takes into account the special combined treatment of OS/390 V2R10 and z/OS V1R1. As also described in Software Announcement 200-145 , dated May 16, 2000, IBM has converged on a consistent migration and coexistence policy. This consistent migration and coexistence policy is based on the current coexistence policy. Migration forward as well as backward should be made within the same releases supported by the coexistence policy. Four releases is the general migration and coexistence policy that should be assumed, except where special provisions have been provided. This consistent coexistence, migration and fallback policy applies to release migrations for:
Since each release of z/OS can normally be ordered for only a six month window, it is very important that you order the required z/OS release you need for migration and coexistence while still available. For additional information on coexistence and release migration information, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) at: For migrations inside the IBM migration and coexistence policy, IBM Global Services (IGS) has fee-based offerings which provide a PTF on-demand service for toleration and coexistence maintenance based upon a customer's SMP/E Consolidated Software Inventory (CSI). With these offerings, customers specify which release of z/OS, z/OS.e, OS/390, or to subsystems (DB2, CICS, IMS, NCP), or hardware (for example, 2064) which they are migrating, and all configured toleration/coexistence maintenance for their current system (as specified by their CSI), will be delivered to them as a customized package in electronic or physical format. This is provided through the S/390® SoftwareXcel offering, via the Service Request and Delivery (SRD) function.
IGS also provides hands-on fee-based services to assess whether a
migration outside the migration and coexistence policy might be possible.
For more information on the migration services that IGS provides for both
inside and outside the migration and coexistence policy, contact your
local IBM sales specialist.
JES Coexistence, Release Migrations, and FallbackIt is recommended you migrate to the JES2 or JES3 that comes comprehensively-tested with z/OS V1R3 at the same time you migrate to the rest of z/OS V1R3, or as soon as possible thereafter. In this way, you benefit directly from the new function provided by the most current JES and enable other elements and features to benefit from this level. Because such a migration is not always practical, certain prior JES levels are supported. The JES levels supported by a given z/OS release (that is, the allowable JES-BCP combinations) are the same as the JES levels that may coexist in the same multi-access spool (MAS) or multisystem complex with the JES delivered in that z/OS release. That is, the JES levels that may run on the latest z/OS release (when run on either a single system or on individual systems participating in a multisystem configuration) are the four most recent JES levels. For additional information on JES coexistence and release migration information, including the allowable JES-BCP combinations and the JES coexistence levels that are supported, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) at: Installation EnhancementsServerPac and CBPDO support delivery on 3590 media, including support for CBPDO service orders on 3590. Performance Considerations: Additional information on z/OS V1R3 performance will be available at general availability. You should consult your marketing representative at or after general availability. User Group Requirements: z/OS V1R3 satisfies or partially satisfies requirements from IBM customers and one or more of the worldwide user group communities. Information on the specific User Group Requirements (numbers and descriptions) can be found at: Planning InformationDirect Customer Support: Direct customer support is provided by IBM Operational Support Services — Support Line. This fee service can enhance your productivity by providing voice and electronic access into the IBM support organization. IBM Operational Support Services — Support Line will help answer questions pertaining to usage, how to, and suspected software defects for eligible products. Installation and technical support is provided by IBM Global Services. For more information on services, call 800-IBM-4YOU (426-4968). Packaging: When you order z/OS, IBM recommends that you also order all the unpriced optional (encryption controlled) features that you may need in the future. That is because these features may not still be orderable later when you decide you need them. For example, to obtain encryption support (security) for IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, you must specify the security feature IBM HTTP Server North America Secure.
For specific details on feature numbers, refer to the
Ordering Information
section.
System Integrity
IBM will accept APARs where the installation of z/OS introduces an
exposure to system integrity.
Security, Auditability, and ControlData security and auditability in the z/OS environment are enhanced by the functions available in the optional Security Server for z/OS feature. The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities.

Key Dates
Typically, when one z/OS release becomes orderable in ServerPac, SystemPac, or CBPDO, the previous release is no longer orderable. Since each release of z/OS can normally be ordered for only a six-month window, it is very important that you order the required z/OS release you need for migration and coexistence while still available. For additional information, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504), Chapter 5, "Ensuring coexistence and fallback," at: Order z/OS Through the InternetShopzSeries (formerly SHOPS390) provides an easy way to plan and order your z/OS ServerPac or CBPDO. It will analyze your current installation, determine the correct product migration, and present your new configuration based on z/OS. Additional products can also be added to your order (including determination of whether all product requisites are satisfied). ShopzSeries is available in the U.S. and several countries in Europe. For more details and availability, visit the ShopzSeries Web site at: Current Licensees of OS/390 V2R10Migration to z/OS V1R1: OS/390 V2R10 customers can migrate to z/OS V1R1 by:
The z/OS V1R1 licensing/pricing features can be ordered to migrate OS/390 V2R10 customers who order the z/OS V1R1 Upgrade Package for OS/390 V2R10. This upgrade package is available only through CBPDO format. There are important service considerations when ordering and installing the z/OS V1R1 Upgrade Package for OS/390 V2R10. It is highly recommended that you upgrade service for the entire OS/390 V2R10 system at the time you install the upgrade package. This will ensure that you are at the minimum service level that was integration tested by IBM. You should choose the CBPDO Selective service option when ordering the upgrade package. This will provide you with service for OS/390 V2R10, the upgrade package, and other products in your ordering profile. OS/390 V2R10 with the z/OS V1R1 Upgrade Package for OS/390 V2R10 gives you an additional migration option when migrating to z/OS. For considerations on which migration path might be optimal, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504), Chapter 6, "Preparing for Migration," at: Migration to z/OS V1R3: OS/390 V2R10 customers can migrate to z/OS V1R3 by ordering the release through the Customized Offerings (ServerPac, SystemPac, CBPDO) as done in the past. There is no upgrade package offered to migrate to z/OS V1R3.
