More Tools to Manage Your e-business that:
Improved Application Flexibility to:
z/OS V1.5 will offer new DFSMS self-management functions, Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM), and Multilevel Security.
Key Prerequisitesz/OS V1.4 runs on these servers:
For a complete description of z/OS V1.4 software prerequisites, refer to the z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) publication, which is available on the Web at: DescriptionWhat's New in V1.4z/OS V1.4 offers a number of improvements and enhancements that build upon e-business enablement strengths and can help you get faster and better performance for your IT dollars. These changes, which include more self-management enhancements, improved application flexibility, greater e-business capabilities, and reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) improvements, are integral to the delivery and implementation of Project eLiza, IBM emerging technologies that are designed to enable systems to manage and fix themselves. Also, with z/OS V1.4, IBM is announcing the z/OS Bimodal Migration Accommodation software to assist customers in migrating from OS/390 to z/OS. This addresses customer requests to have a "fall-back" option to 31-bit mode when first migrating to z/OS in 64-bit mode on a z/Architecture server. IBM has reconsidered the investment in 31-bit support on a zSeries server to encourage our customers to move forward. This software is available for six months for each z/OS license (5694-A01) starting from the registration of a z/OS license to a z/Architecture server. It only applies to z/OS Version 1 Releases 2, 3, and 4, and is being provided at no additional charge. This software may not be used in conjunction with z/OS.e (5655-G52). General availability of the software is concurrent with z/OS V1.4 availability, and is downloadable at the following Web site: Further information about migration and installation can be found here:
For information concerning the terms and conditions associated with the
use of this software, refer to "Terms and Conditions: z/OS V1R2/3/4
Bimodal Migration Accommodation" in the
Supplemental Information
section of this announcement.
Ease-of-Use through IBM Project eLiza TechnologiesBalancing Your Business Workload: z/OS V1.4 improves the balancing of Workload Manager (WLM) managed batch initiators between systems of a sysplex. On highly utilized systems, the number of initiators can be reduced while more are started on low utilized systems. This enhancement can improve sysplex performance with better use of the processing capability of each system. Workload Manager Reporting Improvements: Customers requesting better integration of applications like WebSphere with WLM in order to obtain workload balancing on a more granular base (including application environments) will be pleased with a new WLM reporting enhancement. It allows performance blocks to be associated with enclaves and supports performance block reporting for multi-period classes. This allows RMF™ to provide more granular performance reporting for WebSphere workloads on z/OS. z/OS Security Server PKI Services Enhancements: The Public Key Infrastructure component of Security Server answers the need for a Digital Certificate Management solution on the z/OS platform that has a policy for certificate issuance, revocation of certificates, and Web-based request and fulfillment of certificates. In z/OS V1.4, PKI is updated to include the following enhancements:
Security Server Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) Beta: A beta version of the z/OS V1.5 Security Server Enterprise Identity Mapping will be available in 4Q2002. The beta code may be used on z/OS V1.4 test environments only and is made available on an as-is basis. Details on how to obtain a copy of the EIM beta code can be found at: Refer to the Preview: z/OS V1.5 section in this announcement for more information. Security Server RACF® Support for EIM: RACF commands are enhanced to allow a security administrator to define EIM information for EIM applications to use. The EIM information consists of the LDAP host name (where the EIM domain resides), the EIM domain name, and the bind distinguished name and password an application may use to establish a connection with the domain. The command changes are part of z/OS V1.4 Security Server (RACF). z/OS Managed System Infrastructure for Setup: msys for Setup is part of IBM Project eLiza and helps customers to enable functions as quickly and easily as possible. The value of msys for Setup is extended in z/OS V1.4 with the delivery of further msys for Setup exploitation and major enhancements to the framework. The msys for Setup framework improvements include:
In addition to these framework highlights, TCP/IP provides additional configuration capability through msys for Setup:
msys for Setup Web Deliverable In addition to the msys for Setup code in V1.4, a Web deliverable containing the msys for Setup coexistence code will become available on the same general availability date as that of z/OS V1.4. The coexistence code can be installed on z/OS V1.1, V1.2, or V1.3 and z/OS.e V1.3, and provides the same msys for Setup V1.4 framework functionality as delivered in z/OS V1.4. The installation of the Web deliverable is required if multiple z/OS releases, including at least one system with z/OS V1.4 or higher, are to be managed using a single management directory. The Web deliverable is provided as an SMP/E installable FMID and will be serviced via PTFs. All z/OS V1.1-V1.3 customers are encouraged to install this code to base their msys for Setup use on the enhanced level of functionality. You can obtain this msys for Setup coexistence code and more information at: If you have a configured and running msys for Setup system on a pre-V1.4 release and you decide to install the coexistence Web deliverable, migration support for the z/OS management directory is available. The LDAP plug-in for msys for Setup that allows LDAP servers to be configured, that was announced in Software Announcement 202-031 , dated February 19, 2002, will not be available in z/OS V1.4. Visit the msys for Setup Web site periodically to check for updated news about new msys for Setup exploiters:
msys for Operations — IBM Project eLiza Support:
msys for Ops is part of the IBM msys for Ops functions control and manage both hardware and software resources; thus, fully automated solutions may be possible. msys for Ops simplifies Parallel Sysplex and z/OS operator interaction, thereby detecting failure situations and reacting to them quickly and precisely. These factors are essential to z/OS availability and directly affect the performance and availability of many business applications. z/OS customers can improve their operations and system availability by using either:
z/OS Wizards: New Web-based wizards simplify your planning and configuration needs by exploiting recommended values and by providing customized checklists and outputs for you to use.

To try out the IBM System Automation for OS/390 V2.2- IBM Project eLiza Support The new System Automation for OS/390 V2.2 (SA OS/390) (5645-006), a Project eLiza foundation, provides policy-based self-healing which now includes:
For more information, refer to Software Announcement 202-189 , dated August 13, 2002. JES3- Refresh MAINPROC: Typically, in a JES3 environment, adding a system to a sysplex has been a challenge because a warm start is required in order to add systems, and that requires a sysplex-wide IPL. Refresh MAINPROC enables you to add, delete, or change a MAINPROC statement (which is how JES3 defines a member of a sysplex) during hot start with refresh. The major benefit of this function is that, in most cases, it allows you to add systems to your sysplex without having to perform a sysplex-wide IPL. UNIX Security Management Usability Enhancements Changes have been implemented to assist RACF administrators with management of UNIX identities for users and groups:
In addition, these changes provide the migration path to using the RACF AIM (Application Identity Management) function, which is faster and requires less database space than the UNIXMAP class. The changes also simplify UNIX administration on z/OS and provide options that are consistent with other UNIX platforms. More System Symbols Supported: z/OS V1.4 supports many more system symbols. This support simplifies management for large Parallel Sysplex environments. System symbols are elements that allow systems to share PARMLIB definitions while retaining unique values in those definitions. System symbols act like variables in a program; they can take on different values, based on the input to the program. z/OS V1.4 supports at least 800 user-defined symbols. The real number available depends on length of name and substitution text. System-Managed CF Structure Duplexing: A set of architectural extensions to Parallel Sysplex is introduced with System-Managed CF structure duplexing support for coupling facility structures. All three structure types (cache structures, list structures, and locking structures) can be duplexed using this architecture and provide improved availability. The new set of features is quite extensive and, in total, represents a very significant extension to the Parallel Sysplex Architecture. IBM plans to make System-Managed CF Structure Duplexing available before the end of 2002. Additional details on the availability and requirements for using System-Managed CF Structure Duplexing are available in Software Announcement 102-181 , dated June 25, 2002. In addition, Version 3 of the IBM technical paper System-Managed CF Structure Duplexing (GM13-0103-3) includes information about:

or http://www.ibm.com/server/eserver/zseries/library/techpapers/ e-business Enablingz/OS Communications Server Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6): IPv6 is an evolution of the current version, IP Version 4 (IPv4), and is designed to improve upon the older protocol. Most of today's Internets use IPv4, which is now approximately 20 years old and beginning to experience challenges. IPv6 improves upon IPv4 in a number of ways. For example, IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, an address space large enough to last for the foreseeable future. It also adds many improvements to IPv4 in areas such as configuration, administration, and management. The major benefits of IPv6 fall into the following categories:
IPv6 support in V1.4 requires the use of an OSA-Express adapter running in QDIO mode and is supported only on OSA-Express features on zSeries at driver level 3G (GA3 code) or above. IPv6 requires a zSeries processor. Networking for Large-Scale e-business z/OS V1.4 Communications Server e-business networking enhancements include:
Security for Your e-business: Cryptographic Services-System SSL is updated to maintain currency for exploitation and interoperability. There are also updates to Security Server-LDAP and Security Server-Firewall Technologies. Cryptographic Services- System SSL Enhancements Improved SSL Performance: The System SSL code in V1.4 has been rewritten to improve performance. Current performance measurements with z/OS V1.4 suggest that on a Model 216 z900, the maximum rate attainable is up to 7000 SSL handshakes per second. The previous measurement on a Model 216 z/900 with z/OS V1.2 had a maximum rate of over 4300 SSL handshakes per second. IPv6 Support for System SSL: This support allows System SSL to be used in an IPv6 network configuration. It also enables System SSL to support both IPv4 and IPv6 Internet protocol addresses. CRL Caching: Today, SSL supports certificate revocation lists (CRLs) stored in an LDAP server. Each time a certificate needs to be validated, a request is made to the LDAP server to get the list of CRLs. CRL Caching enables applications to request that the retrieved list of CRLs be cached for a defined length of time. This improves performance and alleviates the need to contact the LDAP server each time validation has to be performed. Support for the AES Symmetric Cipher for SSL V3 and TLS Connections: System SSL supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which provides data encryption using 128-bit or 256-bit keys for SSL V3.0 and TLS V1.0 connections. Support for Digital Signature Standard (DSS) Certificates: System SSL has been enhanced to support Digital Signature Standard certificates defined by the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 186-1 Standard. These certificates are created through the gskkyman certificate management utility and can be used to authenticate the client application during the SSL handshake when client authentication is requested. Enhanced Environment Close: System SSL now permits existing connections to remain active and run to completion after their SSL environment has been closed. This removes the requirement that the customer application must manage the SSL environment until all SSL connections have been closed. Enhanced PKCS#12 Support: We have upgraded System SSL support of PKCS#12 files to new RFC levels. This upgrade enhances the ability of System SSL to interoperate with other certificate management products. Sysplex Session ID Caching: The sysplex session cache support makes SSL V3.0 and Transport Layer Security (TLS) V1.0 server session information available across the sysplex. An SSL session established with a server on one system in the sysplex can be resumed using a server on another system in the sysplex. This can be performed as long as the SSL client presents the session identifier obtained for the first session when initiating the second session. Externalization of CMS APIs: Allows you to write certificate management applications to interact with System SSL. Also allows System SSL applications to be written to communicate with other applications using the PKCS#7 standard. Serviceability: System SSL is being enhanced to support two flavors of debugging. It will continue to support the environment variable setting as well as debugging through a started task. The started task will allow for more dynamic component debug tracing. Debug tracing has also been enhanced to support different debug levels (Entry/Exit to dumps, and so forth). The enhanced debug capabilities provide a mechanism for customers to provide Service personnel with information about their failing scenarios. In addition, the started task provides applications that do not have control over environment variable settings to request tracing. User ID Support of RACF Key Rings: This support allows SSL applications that are using a RACF (SAF) key ring to no longer be required to be the owner of the SAF key ring. With the appropriate SAF permissions, a user ID belonging to the executing application does not have to be the owner of the key ring. A non-owner is allowed to read certificates that do not have private keys. This allows for key rings to be shared among applications that do not need the certificate's private key. For applications that do not need to have certificates with private keys, this helps to simplify the administration of key rings. System SSL of RSA Private Keys Stored in ICSF: In OS/390 V2.8, System SSL added support that allowed the RACDCERT command to be used to manage an SSL application's private keys and certificates. RACDCERT allows a certificate's private key to be stored either directly in the RACF database or in ICSF. However, the OS/390 V2.8 System SSL support was restricted to cases where a certificate's private key is stored in the RACF database. With z/OS V1.4, support is introduced that will allow a certificate's private key to reside in ICSF. Fail-over LDAP: You can now specify a list of Security Server-LDAP servers to be used for storing certificate revocation lists (CRLs). When certificate validation is being performed, this list will be used to determine which LDAP server to connect to for the CRL information. Fail-over LDAP also provides greater availability by not being dependent on a single LDAP server. Security Server LDAP Enhancements Mandatory Authentication Methods: z/OS V1.4 provides all of the authentication methods that are defined as mandatory in IETF RFC 2829. The CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 authentication methods are added. The methods avoid flowing the user's password over the connection to the server. The LDAP Server, the C/C+ + APIs, and the utilities are updated with this support. Compliance with RFC 2829 allows you to use any of these authentication methods with z/OS LDAP. In addition, interoperability is improved for any applications that make use of these methods. TLS: z/OS LDAP now provides support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) as defined in IETF RFC 2830. TLS support allows applications to make use of the TLS protocol. It also provides support, via an LDAP extended operation, that allows applications to selectively activate TLS for certain LDAP operations at the application's discretion. In addition, the availability of TLS support allows you the option of running either TLS or SSL. Server Activity Log: This enhancement improves logging done by the LDAP Server. The activity log now shows the LDAP operations being requested and the requestor. Various options give flexibility in what is logged. In addition, this capability enhances reliability, availability, and serviceability of the LDAP Server. It also provides compatibility with some Netscape-provided logging. Modify DN: Today the LDAP Server only supports modification of the most significant portion of a Distinguished Name (DN). z/OS has expanded this support to allow any portion of the DN to be changed. This essentially means that relocation of an entry, and possibly a subtree, to a different location in the directory information tree (DIT) is possible. The availability of this support further completes the LDAP Version 3 support defined in RFC 2251, and allows easier management of directory content by allowing movement within the DIT. ACL Updates: Access control has been improved with the addition of "deny" support and "attribute level access control." These enhancements allow finer-grained access control definitions to be established. These capabilities exist in the SecureWay® Directory products on other IBM platforms. With this support, interoperability and functional equity with other IBM-provided LDAP directory products are improved, and flexibility of the access control model is increased. Entry UUID: This support adds a UUID to each entry, allowing unique identification of the entry in the DIT throughout its lifetime. Even if an entry's Distinguished Name changes, its UUID will not. This identifier can be used by applications and middleware that need to ensure they are working with the same entry over time. LDAP Message Support: With z/OS V1.4, LDAP adapts its message severities to those used by other z/OS products. Also, the programs shipped as part of the LDAP product have been updated to take advantage of new support which allows the program itself to determine whether any of its messages should be written to the system console. Security Server-Firewall Technologies Enhancements
Enhance Security Server-Firewall Technologies to Provide Sysplex-wide
Security Association Support:
Virtual Private Network (VPN) support is added to detect when a Dynamic
Virtual IP Address (DVIPA) in a sysplex environment is moved to, or from,
a firewall stack within a sysplex. When a DVIPA is moved in this manner,
an attempt is made to automatically re-establish the security
associations (SAs) associated with that DVIPA on the target stack. The
ISAKMP server on the system assuming control of the DVIPA will attempt to
renegotiate new SAs to replace the ones that were on the system in the
sysplex that previously owned the DVIPA. When used in conjunction with
z/OS Communications Server's TCP/IP DVIPA takeover/give-back support,
this function provides customers with improved availability of IPSec
security associations.
Application FlexibilitySupport for Unicode Normalization Service: Programmers can now normalize (decompose or compose) characters that come from another code page and can apply normalization forms to have the same meaning. REXX Functions: z/OS V1.4 extends the REXX language on z/OS when used in a UNIX System Services MVS REXX environment. It includes functions for standard REXX I/O. A number of I/O stream commands are provided to help control stream processing. Additional functions are also included to easily access some common file services and environments variables. Also included with this package is the ability to interrupt a running REXX program and enter an immediate REXX command such as TS to start interactive tracing. Overall, the availability of this code will provide greater interoperability of z/OS as compared to other platforms. Distributed BRLM in a LFS Sysplex: With this release, z/OS implements the first phase of Moveable Byte Range Lock Manager (BRLM) in a sysplex. Moveable BRLM provides the capability of maintaining the byte range locking history of applications, even when a member of the sysplex dies. The first phase will focus on distributing the locking history across all members of the sysplex. As a result, many applications that lock files that are locally mounted will be unaffected when a remote sysplex member dies. Movement away from a centralized to a distributed BRLM will provide greater flexibility and reliability. Shared HFS Dead System Recovery Enhancements: Currently, when a system goes down, dead system recovery moves file systems that have been defined as AUTOMOVE=YES to another system in the sysplex. This is done in a random way. z/OS now provides a method for customers to indicate where file systems should be placed when a system leaves the sysplex instead of being moved in an unpredictable fashion. The availability of this function will improve performance and workload balancing. zFS and SMB Enhancements: The z/OS V1.4 Distributed File Service support includes zFS and SMB enhancements. Functional, RAS, and performance enhancements to SMB include:
zFS or zFS-related administration, system management, performance, configuration support, and scalability enhancements include:
IBM SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Version 1.4: IBM SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, V1.4 (5655-I56), includes enhancements which allow execution in a persistent reusable mode. These enhancements to the Java Virtual Machine technologies address the specific high-performance capabilities of short-lived, fast, transactional applications. The overhead in initializing and terminating these types of applications implemented in Java should be substantially reduced, storage management more efficiently implemented, and transactions physically isolated from one another. For more information, refer to Software Announcement 202-187 , dated August 13, 2002. XML Toolkit Support for z/OS and OS/390: IBM XML Toolkit for z/OS and OS/390, V1.4 (5655-J51), is designed to provide a valuable infrastructure component to assist you in creating, integrating, and maintaining your business-to-business (B2B) solutions. IBM XML Toolkit for z/OS and OS/390 (V1.4) provides the latest in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) parser and eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) processor support for both Java and C++.

Product Positioning
IBM announces the fourth release of z/OS, the flagship operating system
of the IBM
New features of z/OS V1.4 include extended TCP/IP network addressing with
IPv6 protocols, more self-optimization of batch workloads across a
sysplex cluster, more self-configuring with improvements to msys for
Setup, and enhancements to LDAP security and authentication.
New Release Strategy for z/OSIBM continues to address customer requirements with the introduction of a new release strategy for z/OS and z/OS.e. Customers should migrate to z/OS V1.4 and exploit the rich functions of z/OS, zSeries servers, and middleware. z/OS V1.4 will also be the base for exploiting future zSeries server enhancements. IBM will no longer be delivering z/OS releases on a six-month schedule responding to customer feedback that the current release cycle is too short and complicates customer migration plans. The vast majority of OS/390 and z/OS customers migrate to new releases every 12 to 18 months. The new z/OS release plan will enable customers to take advantage of z/OS V1.4 as a staging release. Less frequent releases in the future will allow IBM to provide even more integration testing for z/OS and related IBM middleware. New z/OS and z/OS.e functions will continue to be delivered between releases through the normal maintenance stream or as Web deliverables. In addition, significant new function may be delivered between releases as features of the product. For example, in 4Q2003, a new feature of z/OS V1.4 is planned to be available that provides enhancements to console availability. The next z/OS and z/OS.e release, z/OS V1.5, is planned to be delivered in first quarter 2004. This release will not require a zSeries server; however, many functions of z/OS will not be available when running on older technology servers (G5/G6/MP3000). The next release after z/OS V1.5 is planned to be available in September 2004. Starting with the September 2004 release, it is IBM's intention to deliver z/OS and z/OS.e releases on an annual basis. z/OS continues to be IBM's strategic high-end operating system, and will maintain its leading edge in mainframe characteristics, including scalability, availability, flexibility, and autonomic computing. For the zSeries customer, z/OS, and not OS/390, is an intended base for future IBM Grid and Project eLiza enhancements, extending the zSeries platform's industry leading quality-of-service, availability, and security capabilities to distributed, heterogeneous infrastructures. zSeries with z/OS will be uniquely positioned as a key component in eUtility, Transactional, and Business Process Grids, and autonomic computing environments.

Ease-of-Use through IBM Project eLiza TechnologiesEnhancements to Data Access and Storage Management: In z/OS V1.5, new DFSMS functions will focus on improving business continuance by adding features that reduce the occurrence of system outages and enhance disaster recovery capabilities. The new functions will also improve your business efficiency by providing better system performance and throughput and by providing usability enhancements that increase storage administrator productivity. Security will be enhanced by optionally hiding names of data sets from unauthorized users and by allowing DFSMShsm™ commands to be controlled by RACF® facility class. In addition, some new functions that will be standard with z/OS V1.5 DFSMS that did not require extensive integrated system testing were made available in 2002 for earlier releases of DFSMS. The enabling PTF and APAR information for these functions is contained below in the appropriate sections. DFSMS plans to improve business continuance with the following:

e-business enablingMultilevel Security: IBM plans to provide a Trusted Computing Base (MAC/DAC support using labelled resources) in z/OS (which is expected to include TCP/IP, Security Server, and UNIX System Services). This is collectively called "Multilevel Security" and is planned to be delivered with function staged in several releases. A multilevel secure system has two primary goals: first, the controls are intended to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing information at a higher classification than their authorization. Second, the controls are intended to prevent individuals from declassifying information. In z/OS V1.5, Multilevel Security will extend the labelled security protection of z/OS to include TCP/IP and UNIX System Services, and provide enhancements to Security Server, JES2, SDSF, and others. Multilevel Security function will allow customers more stringent access control to resources than is provided by user permissions. For example, a system administrator will be able to classify users and resources into compartments that are represented by security labels. This labelled security allows sharing of resources with mixed levels of security in a single image. Customers will continue to find value in integrating critical internal information systems to suppliers, employees, and customers through the Internet. These customers will find even partial implementation of Multilevel Security facilities on z/OS systems to be instrumental in protecting these systems and controlling their use.
Security for Your e-business Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM):
z/OS V1.5 delivers on IBM's commitment to provide self-managing
solutions through the industry-leading implementation of EIM, an IBM
Project eLiza initiative. Project eLiza is IBM's approach to creating a
self-managing, autonomic computing environment. EIM will be designed to
give you and your business partners a technology that maps a user
identity on one system to the user's identity on another system.
Applications that use EIM's C/C++ programming interface will be able to
equate jsmith on iSeries to janesmith on zSeries. EIM will be an
LDAP-based application that uses the LDAP database as a central
repository of user mapping information. EIM is planned to lead to better
tools for managing user IDs belonging to an individual within your
enterprise, and simplify applications that run on multiple platforms
because the application doesn't need to invent yet another way to

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. IBM plans to take the following actions in the future.
z/OS V1.4 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
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 that have not been ordered will
also be shipped with z/OS, but with policy statements that disable the
unordered features. If you subsequently enable any of the optional
priced features, those features also become subject to the payment terms
of your 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
z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation
(GA22-7504).
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 12 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.
Effective immediately, z/OS no longer supports service for client
operating systems whose service is withdrawn by the operating system
manufacturer. As an example of the actual implementation of this policy,
we will no longer support service for clients running Windows® 95.
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, and how to order and install the redefined recommended service, refer to: Note: These service recommendations are based on IBM's test environment and workloads. Customer environments and workloads are likely to differ. Therefore, these service recommendations are provided without warranties of any kind. Customers must consider their environment, maintenance philosophy, and production needs in making the final decision as to what maintenance to apply.
Note:
These statements represent IBM's current intentions. IBM development
plans are subject to change or withdrawal without further notice.
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 InformationSpecified Operating EnvironmentHardware Requirementsz/OS V1.4 runs on the following IBM servers:
z/OS V1.5 is planned to run on the same IBM Servers as listed for z/OS
V1.4.
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 or 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 z/OS, OS/390, and z/OS.e 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 V2.10, z/OS V1.1, z/OS V1.2, and z/OS V1.3 are coexistence-supported with z/OS V1.4. This takes into account the special combined treatment of OS/390 V2.10 and z/OS V1.1. In addition, z/OS.e V1.3 and z/OS.e V1.4 are also coexistence supported with z/OS V1.4. 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 only until the next release of z/OS becomes orderable, it is very important that you order the 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 that provide a PTF on demand service for toleration and coexistence maintenance based upon your system modification program/extended (SMP/E) Consolidated Software Inventory (CSI). With these offerings, you specify the release of z/OS, z/OS.e, or OS/390, the subsystems (DB2, CICS, IMS, NCP), or the hardware (for example, 2064) to which you are migrating, and all configured toleration/coexistence maintenance for your current system (as specified by your CSI) will be delivered to you 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 Fallback: It is recommended you migrate to the JES2 or JES3 that comes comprehensively tested with z/OS 1.4 at the same time you migrate to the rest of z/OS 1.4, 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 and Customization EnhancementsFor z/OS V1.4, ServerPac now supports the ability to selectively install either JES2 or JES3. This eliminates subsequent tasks to merge zones or to delete the unused JES. ServerPac also provides support to enable z/OS Managed System Infrastructure for Operations (msys for Operations), which provides automation and ease-of-use functions for both z/OS system and sysplex resources. For z/OS V1.4, ServerPac also addressed multiple customer and user group requirements. For more information about enhancements to ServerPac, refer to "E-Care" in the Description section of this announcement. The level V1.1 customized Offering Driver (5665-343) no longer supports single-density DASD. This reduces the number of tapes that you need to handle. Now, the minimum level of DASD devices supported are 3380-2 and 3390-2. The media on which the Driver can be ordered are the following:
z/OS V1.4 customization has also been made easier with enhancements to both z/OS Managed System Infrastructure for Setup (msys for Setup) and the z/OS wizards. msys for Setup has been enhanced to provide additional element plug-ins, support for multiple user logon, improved user interface, and Japanese NLS support.
Availability of the z/OS Intelligent Resource Director (IRD) Planning
wizard is planned for 2002. The IBM For more information about enhancements to msys and the z/OS wizards, refer to the section, Ease-of-Use through IBM Project eLiza Technologies Performance Considerations: Additional information on z/OS V1.4 performance will be available at general availability. You should consult your IBM representative at or after general availability. User Group Requirements: z/OS V1.4 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: Direct 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 (export 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. Ordering InformationFor pricing information previously announced for z/OS V1, refer to:
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 only until the next release of z/OS becomes orderable, it is very important that you order the 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: For the latest product catalog for CBPDO, ServerPac, and SystemPac, visit the following Web site and select z/OS: Products that are unavailable via CBPDO, ServerPac, or SystemPac, such as Lotus® Domino™ (5655-B86), can also be ordered with z/OS.
The stand-alone product IBM Debug Tool for z/OS and OS/390 V1.3
(5698-198), or later, is functionally richer than the debug tool function
in the z/OS C/C++ with Debug Tool feature. You can take advantage of the
many new functions in the stand-alone product by dynamically disabling
the z/OS C/C++ with Debug Tool feature, dynamically enabling the z/OS
C/C++ without Debug Tool feature, and installing the stand-alone product.
Order the latest level of the above product to obtain latest function.
Order z/OS through the InternetShopzSeries (formerly SHOPS390) provides an easy way to plan and order your z/OS ServerPac or CBPDO.

Customized OfferingsMost product media is shipped only via Customized Offerings (that is, CBPDO, ServerPac, SystemPac). Non-customized items (CDs, diskettes, source media, media kits) will continue to be shipped via the stand-alone product. Terms and ConditionsThe terms and conditions of z/OS V1.4 (5694-A01) are unaffected by this announcement. For more information, refer to: Terms and Conditions: z/OS V1R2/3/4 Bimodal Migration AccommodationThe z/OS Bimodal Migration Accommodation software ("Accommodation") is intended to provide fallback support to 31-bit mode in the event that it is required during migration to z/OS in z/Architecture mode (64-bit). Program-Unique Terms: The following additional terms supplement and amend the IBM International License Agreement for Non-Warranted Programs ("ILA") and your downloading, installation or any other use of the Accommodation indicates your acceptance of these additional terms: The Accommodation is available for each z/OS license for six months only ("Accommodation Period"). The Accommodation Period begins when z/OS (5694-A01) is licensed to a zSeries server (z800 or z900) or equivalent ("Server"). The Accommodation may only be used for a single six month period on each Server where the Accommodation is licensed. At the end of the Accommodation Period, z/OS will be supported in 64-bit mode only, and your authorization to use the Accommodation on that Server will no longer be valid and may not be renewed. Workload License Charges (WLC) are not a supported option for pricing and licensing of IBM software on the Server on which the Accommodation is installed. If you have signed the Attachment for zSeries Workload License Charges — Pre-ILM (z125-6516), the terms of such attachment are suspended for the Server on which the Accommodation is installed during the term of such license. If you elect WLC pricing for software on a Server on which the Accommodation is installed, your license to use the Accommodation on that Server shall automatically terminate and may not be renewed.
