Back to top
z/OS® and z/OS.e are designed to deliver world class computing for on demand business, positioning
the IBM 
zSeries® platform
as the enterprise data vault and interconnect point for business logic.
z/OS V1.7, planned to be available in September 2005, further strengthens the zSeries platform
with enhancements designed to deliver increased availability of z/OS UNIX® System Services (z/OS
UNIX), to support new security standards, and to improve enterprise-wide workload management.
Additional improvements in z/OS V1.7, as announced in Software Announcement
204-180
, dated August 10, 2004, include function intended to simplify z/OS with the integrated
IBM Health Checker for z/OS and Sysplex, to provide enhanced z/OS UNIX file serving, and to provide
high availability improvements for TCP/IP in a sysplex.
z/OS V1.7 can help improve security with new Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards that
address the interaction of integrated IPSecurity (IPSec) and Network Address Translation (NAT). A
new Dynamic Service Activation function can help provide improved availability for z/OS UNIX, and
Unicode Services has also been designed to help provide improved availability.
Networking capabilities will be strengthened in z/OS V1.7. The z/OS Communications Server continues
to enhance support for IPv6. Also, file transfers performed by the z/OS FTP client and server in
z/OS V1.7 can be further checked for successful completion.
In an Enterprise Workload Manager (EWLM) environment, new interfaces can allow you to measure
transaction performance across multiple tiers of a heterogeneous infrastructure. The existing
enclave services have been enhanced and are intended to allow middleware applications such as DB2®
Distributed Data Facility (DDF) to participate in EWLM with minor changes. For more information
about EWLM, refer to Software Announcement
204-305
, dated December 14, 2004.
All statements apply to both z/OS and z/OS.e, unless stated otherwise.
Previews provide insight into IBM plans and direction. Availability, prices, ordering information,
and terms and conditions will be provided when the product is announced.

A summary of some previously announced z/OS V1.7 capabilities found in
Software Announcement
204-180
, dated August 10, 2004, is provided below, followed by details
on additional improvements planned for the general availability of z/OS
V1.7:
-
Greater scalability with support for 32 processors in a single image,
support for sequential and EXCP data sets larger than 65,535 tracks, more
than 255 extents per VSAM component, and CICS® socket enhancements
-
Application integration with enhancements to the zSeries File System
(zFS) and ISO C99 support
-
Enhanced security with Communications Server support for IP filtering,
Internet Key Exchange (IKE), and Virtual Private network (VPN), without
requiring the use of the Integrated Security Services Firewall
Technologies
-
Security Server (RACF®) support for mixed-case passwords
-
Improved availability with TCP/IP Sysplex Autonomics and TCP/IP Sysplex
operational enhancements
-
Self-optimizing capabilities with Virtualization Engine™ support; new
functions for WLM, including support for capacity on demand; System
Logger and XRC+ optimization of duplexing log data; and Geographically
Dispersed Parallel Sysplex™ (GDPS™) enhancements
-
Greater ease of use with the integration of IBM Health Checker for z/OS
and Sysplex as a z/OS base function
Scalability
Scalability enhancements are planned to include:
-
Scale up and scale out:
z/OS V1.6 currently allows you to scale up in a single logical partition from 1 processor to 24
with good scalability and to scale out in a Parallel Sysplex® for higher availability. IBM plans
to support up to 32 processors in a single logical partition on z990 servers on z/OS V1.6 in
June 2005. Scalability is expected to be good all the way from 1 processor to 32.
Notes
-
This is based on internal IBM lab measurements.
-
Performance data for this new function is planned to be published after general availability.
-
When you are using the new zSeries Application Assist Processor (zAAP), which provides a specialized
z/OS Java™ execution environment, the total number of processors defined in a z/OS logical
partition is the sum of general purpose processors (CPs) and zSeries zAAPs.
-
VSAM RLS 64-bit virtual
can allow continued growth for applications using VSAM RLS.
-
DFSMShsm™ scalability enhancements
are planned to:
-
Extend Tape Table of Contents (TTOC) records to raise the DFSMShsm limit on the number of data sets
per tape to support more than 330,000 data sets per volume. This can provide better DFSMShsm
exploitation of new larger capacity tape cartridges by allowing over 1,000,000 data sets per
migration or backup tape volume. (
Note:
Other factors also affect the number of data sets that can be stored on a tape.)
-
Support DFSMShsm journal data sets larger than 65,535 tracks. A larger journal data set can be used
to allow more DFSMShsm activity to take place between journal backups and help avoid journal full
conditions.
-
DFSMSrmm™
is planned to support data sets larger than 65,535 tracks for the journal, journal backup, and
certain temporary data sets. A larger journal data set can be used to allow more removable media
activity to take place between journal backups and help avoid journal full conditions.
-
DFSMSdss™ virtual storage constraint relief:
DFSMSdss will be changed to exploit Format-1 Channel Command Words (CCWs) so that it can use storage
obtained above the 16-MB line during EXCP processing. This can allow DFSMSdss to process more
volumes during COPY and DUMP operations and can help improve performance.
-
Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) Input Output Definition File (IODF) improvements:
With the requirement for more device definitions (for example, for Parallel Access Volumes and
Virtual Tape Subsystems), the number of devices is increasing rapidly in the IODF. A new IODF
format will be introduced that can allow larger configurations to be defined. This new format can
also reduce the amount of space used for existing configurations.
Also, HCD is expected to use less virtual storage and require less processing time for the same
configuration, which can result in better performance. An upgrade function will be provided to
change an existing V4 IODF into a new V5 IODF, and PTFs will be made available for lower-level
systems to support activating Version 5 IODFs.
-
XES locking constraint relief:
XES is planned to support many more locks per lock structure connector. This can help provide
constraint relief for workloads that obtain and hold large numbers of sysplex locks, such as SAP
workloads using DB2. Support is also planned to be made available via PTF for z/OS V1.4, z/OS V1.5,
and z/OS V1.6.
Application integration
Deploying applications quickly and easily is important. In z/OS V1.7, planned improvements in this
area include
hexadecimal floating point support for AMODE 64 C/C++ applications:
z/OS XL C/C++ applications compiled using LP64 and FLOAT(HEX) are planned to be able to use the
C/C++ run-time library math, numeric conversion, and formatted I/O functions that work with float,
double, and long double data types. The initial C/C++ run-time library for AMODE 64 C/C++
applications on z/OS V1.6 provided floating point support for applications compiled using
FLOAT(IEEE). This new support will complete IBM's planned floating point support within the C/C++
run-time library for AMODE 64 C/C++ applications.
Security
Planned improvements in security include:
-
NAT Traversal:
Interaction problems between IP Security (IPSec) and Network Address Translation (NAT) occur when
IPSec is used to protect traffic that traverses a NAT device. New IETF standards address the
interaction of IPSec and NAT. This support, known as NAT Traversal, is planned to be provided in
z/OS Communications Server, and is intended to allow IPSec protected data to traverse a NAT device.
-
Application Transparent TLS
support in z/OS Communications Server will provide Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) as a function of the TCP/IP stack. Application Transparent TLS is designed to remove
the need to provide support in each z/OS application, which can help reduce development and
maintenance cost. This support is planned to be provided for C/C++, High Level Assembler
(including z/OS UNIX support), COBOL, PL/I, REXX, CICS C sockets, and CICS and IMS™ CALL
instructions. z/OS applications that use this support are intended to communicate with TLS/SSL
enabled partners on z/OS and other operating systems.
-
CICS Sockets and Application Transparent TLS:
Applications that use IP CICS Sockets will be able to take advantage of the Application Transparent
TLS support. A new CICS Listener configuration option is planned to be provided that can allow
listeners using this support to obtain the user ID associated with the connecting client, using the
client's digital certificate and a security manager, such as Security Server (RACF). This is
designed to allow remote clients to be authenticated without the need for passing user IDs and
passwords in application data streams.
In addition, the client's user ID can be associated with the child server transactions started by
the CICS Listener, allowing access control to CICS resources to be performed based on the client's
user ID.
Availability
Application and network availability are crucial to the success of your business. Planned
enhancements in z/OS V1.7 to help you improve availability include:
-
z/OS UNIX dynamic service activation:
Many customers need 24x7 availability for all system components, including the z/OS UNIX kernel.
Previously, an IPL was always required to refresh the kernel after installing maintenance. A new
dynamic service activation function will be designed to provide a function not typically found on
other UNIX platforms--continuous availability even when certain maintenance is applied. In some
cases, this is designed to allow you to install z/OS UNIX service without an IPL.
-
JES2 checkpoint problem recovery:
JES2 is planned to be enhanced to detect and correct certain additional kinds of checkpoint control
block corruption when JES2 is restarted. This can help prevent cold starts.
-
Unicode control block problem recovery:
Unicode Services will maintain a copy of certain critical control blocks, and compare them
periodically to those in use. When a problem is found, Unicode Services will be designed to repair
the in-use control blocks automatically without the need for an IPL.
-
A new direct access device space management/Common VTOC Access Facility (DADSM/CVAF) device support
address space
is planned to be started during a system IPL. This recoverable and restartable address space can
also support component trace for the DADSM and CVAF components, which can help allow First Failure
Data Capture, and help improve availability and serviceability.
-
IDCAMS FROMKEY/TOKEY support in REPRO MERGECAT
is planned to help make it easier to move catalog entries from one catalog to another, which can
make it easier to split catalogs and can help reduce recovery time for damaged catalogs.
Self-optimization
Self-optimization is important because it can help free you from having to manage system resources
while making effective use of them. The following new self-optimizing capabilities are planned to
be included in z/OS V1.7:
-
OAM immediate recall to disk
will implement the immediate recall of objects currently residing on removable media to DB2 for an
installation-specified number of days. This can allow subsequent requests to read the objects from
DB2 disk, rather than from a tape or optical volume. It can provide a significant performance
improvement.
-
New function for Resource Measurement Facility (RMF™): zFS support:
RMF Monitor III is planned to provide overview and performance information about zFS file systems.
You can use this information to help optimize cache sizes, monitor zFS-related I/O, and check zFS
aggregate sizes.
-
New functions for the Workload Manager (WLM):
-
z/OS load balancing optimizations:
WLM and TCP/IP Sysplex Distributor will be designed to work together to route work to systems that
are achieving response time goals. DB2 Connect® will also use this new function. In addition,
routing will be designed to be sensitive to resource shortages (such as reaching MAXDBAT in a
DRDA® region).
-
EWLM and ARM agent integration:
WLM will support the on demand operating environment (ODOE) initiative by allowing a z/OS system to
be an EWLM managed server. Also, a new set of application instrumentation interfaces for C and Java
programs is planned to be provided that is designed to follow the Open Group ARM standard.
In an EWLM environment these interfaces can allow you to measure transaction performance across
multiple tiers of a heterogeneous infrastructure. Existing enclave services have been enhanced, and
are now intended to allow middleware applications such as DB2 DDF to participate in EWLM with minor
changes. For more information about EWLM, refer to Software Announcement
204-305
, dated December 14, 2004.
-
System Logger
is planned to provide new support for XRC+ by allowing you to choose asynchronous writes to staging
data sets for logstreams. Previously, all writes had to be synchronous. This limited the
throughput for high-volume logging applications, such as CICS and IMS. The ability to do
asynchronous writes can allow the use of XRC for some applications for which it was not previously
practical.
Networking
z/OS V1.7 is planned to include networking improvements in several areas:
-
IPv6 advanced socket API:
The IPv6 advanced socket API support provided in z/OS V1.4 is planned to be expanded to include
additional API options defined in RFC3452. The new options include interfaces designed to allow
applications to read and change information in IPv6 headers and extension headers. These API
extensions are intended to be used by specialized network applications that require low-level
controls over their communications. Services are provided in z/OS UNIX assembler callable services
and C/C++ programs using the z/OS Language Environment®.
-
z/OS Communications Server FTP
enhancements are planned:
-
FTP Client API support for C/C++:
New C/C++ header files and functions will be provided that can allow C/C++ applications to use the
FTP Client API.
-
FTP confidence of success level reporting:
For certain types of transfers, the z/OS FTP client and server can be configured to perform
additional checks and report a level of confidence that transfers have completed successfully. This
is designed to provide an additional safeguard against data loss by including checks not provided
for in the FTP protocol.
-
Enterprise Extender (EE) and SNA
are planned to offer serviceability improvements:
-
Autologon
will provide a new VTAM® operator command to initiate autologon sessions for LUs with pending
autologon requests. Additionally, enhancements to the Display Autologon command are planned to
allow operators to determine which controlling applications and LUs no longer have sessions. These
new operational enhancements can help provide a VTAM operator with an efficient way to determine
whether autologon LUs have lost sessions with controlling applications, and can help make it easier
to initiate logons for such applications.
-
Model Cross Domain Resource (CDRSC) support
will provide functional support for a CDRSC definition to be configured in a CDRSC major node. This
will extend previously available predefined and dynamic CDRSC definitions. Support for models can
provide many configuration benefits; for example, it can allow you to use fewer predefined CDRSCs.
-
A new Display EEDIAG command
will be provided to display performance-related information about EE connections, including the
ability to display those experiencing excessive retransmission rates. This information will be able
to be displayed on an interval basis, and can be helpful in determining whether problems exist in
the network. It will also provide statistics that can help you tune EE timer operands (LIVTIME,
SRQRETRY, and SRQTIME).
-
Command to remove a generic resource:
A new MODIFY GR operator command will be provided to delete the generic resource representation from
the coupling facility. This can allow a USERVAR of the same name to be created.
-
An update to an IBM statement of direction on SNA support in 2005:
A statement of direction was issued in Software Announcement
204-180
, dated August 10, 2004, describing IBM's intent to introduce an SNA solution in 2005 that
uses NCP (Network Control Program) software running within Linux™ on zSeries. This statement of
direction is planned to be fulfilled in the first half of 2005 with the availability of the IBM
Communication Controller for Linux on zSeries product.
Ease of use
z/OS continues to improve ease of use in many areas. z/OS V1.7 is planned to provide these
usability improvements:

IBM plans to take the following actions effective with the general availability of z/OS V1.7:
IBM plans to take the following actions effective in 2005, or later: In an ongoing effort to
simplify ordering, delivery, and installation of z/OS service, emphasis will continue to be on
electronic delivery rather than physical shipment of service. The number of ordering interfaces
will be reduced to establish a uniform service methodology and enable timely delivery of new
function. The following change is being announced at this time:
Effective January 15, 2006, the S/390® Service Update Facility will be discontinued.
If you have not already done so, we recommend that you begin using ShopzSeries or another service
option before the above change takes effect. For more information on ShopzSeries, visit the

Related information
TotalStorage® DS6000 and DS8000:
z/OS V1.4 and above will support the TotalStorage DS6000 and DS8000, which offer a simplified
storage management system. For zSeries and z/OS environments, these storage devices support a new
65,520 cylinder 3390 volume. This new volume option has a capacity of approximately 55.7 GB. It
can help relieve addressing constraints, improve disk resource utilization, and improve storage
administrator productivity by providing the ability to consolidate multiple disk volumes into a
single address. These devices also use I/O priority information provided by the z/OS Workload
Manager to manage the processing sequence of I/O operations.
These functions are available now on z/OS V1.4 and above. For information about the requirements
for using these functions, refer to the DS6000 and DS8000 Preventive Service Planning (PSP) buckets.
The PSP UPGRADE names are 1750DEVICE and 2107DEVICE.
For more information about IBM TotalStorage DS6000, refer to Hardware Announcement
104-384
, dated October 12, 2004 (IBM TotalStorage DS6000 series offers enterprise disk technology
on a modular platform). For information about DS8000, refer to Hardware Announcement
104-383
, dated October 12, 2004 (IBM TotalStorage DS8000 Series Function Authorizations).
Cancellation of individual DFSMShsm™ tasks:
This enhancement allows DFSMShsm users to cancel all active DFSMShsm data movement tasks,
including ABARS tasks that process in their own address space. Previously, when you needed to
cancel an active individual DFSMShsm data movement task, you had to bring down the entire DFSMShsm
address space. Now an active data movement task can be cancelled without impacting other ongoing
DFSMShsm activity. This enhancement will promote higher DFSMShsm availability and better end-user
satisfaction.
This capability will be incorporated into z/OS V1.7. Support is planned to be made available via
PTFs for z/OS V1.4 and higher in 2005.
IBM Virtualization Engine™ Enterprise Workload Manager for z/OS V1.1.0:
IBM Virtualization Engine Enterprise Workload Manager for z/OS V1.1.0 (EWLM for z/OS) allows
system administrators to define business-oriented performance objectives for workloads running
across different platforms, and then view actual performance compared to those objectives. It
provides the capability for z/OS to be a managed server for monitoring z/OS applications within
EWLM. The z/OS managed server can be added to an existing Virtualization Engine EWLM domain that
has a Domain Manager running on AIX®, OS/400®, Linux™, or Microsoft™ Windows™. For
details, refer to Software Announcement
204-305
, dated December 14, 2004.
OSA-Express2: Large send support:
z/OS Communications Server plans to exploit the OSA-Express2 Large Send feature that was
announced in Hardware Announcement
104-346
, dated October 7, 2004. The OSA-Express2 Large Send feature, also referred to as TCP
segmentation offload, can help improve performance by offloading outbound TCP segmentation
processing from the host to the OSA-Express2 by employing a more efficient memory transfer into the
OSA-Express2. The z/OS Communications Server support is planned for TCP/IP IPv4 traffic only. The
z/OS support is planned for z/OS V1.7. A z/OS V1.6 PTF for this support is planned to be provided
in the second quarter of 2005.
Unicode conversion techniques:
This function, available with APAR OA08723 on December 17, 2004, allows users of
Unicode Services to search conversion tables with greater granularity. Before this APAR, conversion
requests would terminate when the technique search order specified on a conversion request did not
exactly match the conversion tables in storage. With this function, character conversion requests
will search additional conversion tables based on the different technique search orders specified.
The following PTFs are required:
z/OS release PTF number
z/OS V1.4 UA14768
z/OS V1.5 UA14769
z/OS V1.6 UA14770
Internet delivery of ServerPac:
Effective January 10, 2005, ShopzSeries, which provides an easy way to plan for and
order z/OS platform software and service, was enhanced to add Internet delivery as a delivery
option. ServerPac (z/OS, DB2®, CICS®, IMS™, WAS, NCP) is now available for Internet delivery
for orders placed using ShopzSeries. The integration of ShopzSeries with the ServerPac dialogs
provides a seamless experience for ordering and installing your ServerPac orders, while leveraging
the automation capabilities of Internet delivery with new SMP/E functions.
Support for Internet delivery of ServerPac is an extension of existing capabilities to download
products and service orders placed using ShopzSeries. Internet delivery provides ease of use
advantages with its elimination of tape handling and automation of many operations for download and
installation. ShopzSeries also provides you with the flexibility to download your orders either
directly to z/OS or z/OS.e, or to a workstation used as an intermediate node.
For prerequisites and related planning information, visit
z/Series Electronic Service Agent™ (5655-F17):
Electronic Service Agent is available to z/OS licensees at no
additional charge. It can collect event and system inventory data and
send it to IBM. While your IBM server is under warranty or being
maintained under an IBM maintenance agreement, hardware error data can
also be sent to IBM. This information is available to IBM service
representatives and can help them diagnose problems and respond
proactively to maintain high availability. Also, the software product
