| Overview |
|
z/OS®.e V1.7 is a specially priced offering of z/OS that provides select functions at an
attractive price. It is designed to help you exploit the fast-growing world of next-generation
business applications by making the deployment of new application workloads on the IBM 
zSeries® 800 (z800) and zSeries
890 (z890) servers competitively priced.
This offering brings new levels of affordability to enterprise and Web-based applications while capitalizing on the capabilities of zSeries technology.
z/OS.e V1.7 uses the same code base (customized with different system parameters) as z/OS V1.7. It invokes an operating environment that is comparable with z/OS in qualities of service, management, and reporting. Also, z/OS.e invokes the same z800 and z890 hardware function that you would get with full-function z/OS.
z/OS.e V1.7 provides advances in business resiliency and security with extensions to GDPS™ for system recovery and improvements in RACF® interoperability. You might see a reduction in your need for IPLs with dynamic service activation for z/OS UNIX® System Services.
To help customers build and extend their z/OS.e applications, z/OS.e delivers XL C/C++ with the C compiler designed to support the latest ISO C1999 standard, also known as C99, and adds support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) that is designed to be application-transparent. As of z/OS.e V1.7, the z/OS.e C/C++ compiler has been renamed to z/OS.e XL C/C++.
To help simplify systems management, IBM Health Checker for z/OS is now a base component of z/OS.e, providing an integrated tool for checking on best practices for configuration values. The management capabilities are more robust, additional checks are available, and SDSF support helps simplify the management of the checks. The dynamic capabilities of z/OS.e are also extended with the new TCP/IP Sysplex Load Balancing Advisor for better interaction with network-based load balancers and integration between Sysplex Distributor and Workload Manager. In addition, z/OS.e V1.7 is planned to provide support for simplified network management with JES2 NJE support for TCP/IP in first quarter 2006.
IBM intends to deliver a software-based file encryption solution for z/OS.e that leverages the
existing z/OS.e key management capabilities provided within the Integrated Cryptographic Services
Facility (ICSF) in 2005. More information will be provided at a later date.

24 x 7 world-class service
IBM's world-class software support service for z/OS.e is available 24 hours a day, every day. Provided by the IBM Support Center, z/OS.e service is backed by hundreds of product support specialists, product-level experts, and component-level experts working in many locations around the world to provide electronic and telephone support. z/OS.e support specialists have years of experience in solving your problems, and they engage design and development teams when needed. They also provide important inputs to design, development, and test teams in z/OS.e and other product groups to help improve z/OS.e's world-class availability, serviceability, and diagnosis.
IBM can also leverage the in-depth technical expertise of its Dallas and Washington Systems Centers and the resources of the Benchmarking, Briefing, and Design centers. You can also use IBM's Web-accessible and searchable knowledge bases, Systems Center books and white papers, online product documentation, ResourceLink, and searchable online problem databases.
The level of support is complemented by key IBM service and delivery strategies. For example, you
can use the powerful combination of Enhanced HOLDDATA and SMP/E's new Internet Service Retrieval
function along with a batch scheduling program. You can use this function to automate the
acquisition of service data and service and provide reports that can help you with potential
problems while helping make sure you have the latest available IBM service on hand. In addition,
electronic planning (PSP) information is available on the Web to help you plan to use new hardware
and software.

| Statement of direction |
|
IBM plans to take the following actions effective in 2005:
- IBM intends to provide a new user interface for z/OS.e management that is planned to help the new generation of Information Technology workers by automating, eliminating, and simplifying many z/OS management tasks. The first phase of the new user interface (planned to be provided in a separate product) is planned to provide real-time health check information executed by the IBM Health Checker for z/OS and configuration status information for z/OS.e systems and sysplex resources. The new interface contains built-in automation and expert advice capabilities that provide detailed contextual information on alerts and corrective actions. This new interface is planned to be available in fourth quarter 2005.
IBM plans to take the following actions in the future:
- IBM plans to introduce a new system component called z/OS XML System Services (z/OS XML) in a future release of z/OS.e. This component will be designed to provide an optimized set of services for parsing XML documents. The XML parser is expected to be of use to IBM, ISV, and customer middleware and applications having high performance or unique environmental XML parsing requirements, such as the ability to run in cross-memory and service request block (SRB) modes. Initial support is planned to provide an assembler language interface; later, IBM plans to add C/C++ high level language support.
-
IBM intends to provide a VSAM Java database connectivity (JDBC) Connector in the future, not in
2005 as previously stated in Software Announcement
204-180
, dated August 10, 2004. A JDBC Connector implements a Java application programming
interface that is designed to allow you to write Java-based applications that read and write VSAM
data without having to do VSAM programming or use copies of existing data.
These applications are expected to be able to access VSAM data, at the same time as other applications, when deployed in WebSphere, DB2, and z/OS UNIX Systems Services environments. When used with the optional DFSMStvs (Transactional VSAM Services) feature, the VSAM JDBC Connector is intended to allow WebSphere applications to participate in coordinated commit processing.
-
A new function in SMP/E, Internet Service Retrieval, is intended to simplify the acquisition of
z/OS.e service. This function, which supplements existing service options in ShopzSeries, is
planned to be available in September 2005. For more information about this new function, refer
to the description of the SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval function in the
SMP/E enhancements
section.
Internet Service Retrieval and ShopzSeries now offer extensive options for service acquisition and delivery. To reduce the number of ordering interfaces and help assure timely delivery of new function, some older options for service delivery are being simplified or discontinued:
- Effective January 15, 2006, as previously announced in Software Announcement 205-034 , dated February 15, 2005, the S/390® Service Update Facility (SUF) will be discontinued.
- Effective March 2006, new ESO and CBPDO (5751-CS8 and 5775-MVS™) physical delivery subscriptions will not be accepted.
- Effective June 2006, CBPDO product orders will include service only for the products included in the order. Formerly, CBPDO product orders included service for other products licensed under the same customer number within the same SREL. To get service for other products, you can use SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval, ShopzSeries, or a fee service offering.
- Effective June 2006, Service-Only CBPDO (5751-CS3) orders will no longer be accepted. An improved option for ordering service by SREL, or for all licensed products under the same customer number, will continue to be supported in ShopzSeries. You can also get service based on what you have installed using SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval, ShopzSeries, or selected fee offerings. Note that CBPDO product orders are not affected by this change.
- Effective September 2006, existing ESO and CBPDO physical delivery subscriptions will be discontinued. You can use a job scheduling system and SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval to get service at any interval you find convenient, or use the Internet delivery subscription option available in ShopzSeries.
IBM recommends that you begin to use SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval, ShopzSeries, or one of these worldwide fee offerings before the above changes take effect:
- US — SoftwareXcel, Resolve
- Europe, Middle East, Africa — Enhanced Technical Support
- Canada — SupportLine
- Latin America — SupportLine
- Asia Pacific/South — SupportLine
For more information, visit the ShopzSeries Web site at
- On February 15, 2005, IBM announced IBM Communication Controller for Linux™ on zSeries V1.1. This product is intended to provide a migration path for customers using SNA applications to communicate with business partners. In the next release of Communication Controller for Linux on zSeries, IBM intends to provide enhancements in network connectivity such as channel data link control (CDLC) using OSA-Express2 OSN (OSA for NCP), data-link switching (DLSw), and an open interface for X.25 (NPSI). For more information on this product, visit
-
Support for the following plug-ins for msys for Setup will be withdrawn
in the release following z/OS.e V1.7: TCP/IP Services, z/OS UNIX System
Services, Language Environment , Parallel Sysplex®, ISPF, and RMF™.
When this support is withdrawn, you will not be able to use msys for
Setup for function enablement, setup, or configuration of these areas of
z/OS.e.
The DB2 V8 msys for Setup plug-in is unaffected and remains available for enablement, setup, and configuration of DB2. The TCP/IP plug-in will continue to be available for download via the Web and will no longer require msys for Setup. IBM intends to continue to deliver improvements to help with z/OS.e setup and configuration in the future.
- z/OS.e V1.7 is planned to be the last release to support the z/OS.e msys for Operations element. It is IBM's intent to remove the z/OS.e msys for Operations element from the release following z/OS.e V1.7. IBM plans to transition many of the current msys for Operations functions to a new user interface and infrastructure in a future release of z/OS.e.

Hardware requirements
z/OS.e V1.7 runs exclusively on the zSeries z800 and zSeries z890 family of servers or comparable non-IBM servers.
Note: The z800 and z890 servers do not support parallel channels, but do provide an option for you to purchase a parallel channel converter box.
The zSeries 800 and zSeries 890 servers are for customers who require a cost-competitive server that can process multiple workloads, running concurrently under any of the following operating systems:
- Linux™ on zSeries servers
- z/VSE
- VSE/ESA™
- TPF
- z/VM®
- z/OS
- z/OS.e
The zSeries 800 and zSeries 890 servers provide Parallel Sysplex® support. They also support HiperSockets and offer other improved I/O capabilities and capacity compared to older servers.
For additional information, refer to Hardware Announcement 102-052 , dated February 19, 2002, and Hardware Announcement 104-117 , dated April 7, 2004.
Software requirements
The z/OS.e base is an IPL-able system. Specific functions may require additional products not included in z/OS.e base, or in the optional features of z/OS.e. 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
z/OS.e must be IPLed in an LPAR or as a guest under z/VM running in an LPAR. If one guest is z/OS.e, then other guests can be z/OS.e or Linux. The z/OS.e LPARs must add up to the number of MSUs, that is, the number of engines licensed for, z/OS.e.
Customers need to predefine the LPAR name the z/OS.e system is to run in, to "ZOSExxxx." Also, at IPL time you must either enter "LICENSE=Z/OSE" as part of the system parameter or specify LICENSE=Z/OSE in your IEASYSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB. A z/OS.e system will be delivered with the IEASYS00 member containing the LICENSE=Z/OSE specification.
Coexistence, release migrations, and fallback
z/OS and z/OS.e give you compatibility and flexibility as you migrate systems in a multisystem configuration by allowing several releases of z/OS 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 z/OS or z/OS.e 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.
z/OS is coexistence-supported with its equivalent z/OS.e release, and with the z/OS.e releases equivalent to any coexistence-supported z/OS release. As such, z/OS.e supports the same migration policy as z/OS.
As was started with z/OS and z/OS.e V1.6, the first release of the new annual release cycle, the Coexistence, Migration, Fallback policy aligns with the Service policy. IBM intends to continue with the practice of providing service support for each release of z/OS or z/OS.e for three years following its general availability date. IBM, at its sole discretion, may choose to leave a release supported for more than three years.
In some cases, more than three releases may be coexistence, migration, and fallback supported, if IBM at its sole discretion chooses to provide service support for greater than three years for a release. However, any z/OS or z/OS.e release having three or fewer months of service remaining at the time of GA of a new release will not be coexistence, migration, and fallback supported.
Note: These statements represent current intention of IBM. IBM reserves the right to change or alter the Coexistence-Migration- Fallback policy in the future or to exclude certain releases beyond those stated. 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 does not create any liability or obligation for IBM.
Migration forward as well as fallback should be made within the same z/OS or z/OS.e releases supported by the coexistence policy.
The following table shows the releases that are coexistence-supported with z/OS V1.7 and z/OS.e:
Coexistence-supported releases
Release Coexistence-supported with release
z/OS V1.4 or [z/OS V1.1 & OS/390 (R) V2.10(1,2),
z/OS.e V1.4 z/OS V1.2 (3), z/OS V1.3 (4), z/OS V1.4,
z/OS.e V1.3, z/OS.e V1.4
z/OS V1.5 or z/OS V1.2 (3), z/OS V1.3 (4), z/OS V1.4,
z/OS.e V1.5 z/OS V1.5, z/OS.e V1.3, z/OS.e V1.4,
z/OS.e V1.5
z/OS V1.6 or z/OS V1.3 (4), z/OS V1.4, z/OS V1.5,
z/OS.e V1.6 z/OS V1.6, z/OS.e V1.3, z/OS.e V1.4,

z/OS.e V1.8 (5) z/OS V1.8, z/OS.e V1.5, z/OS.e V1.6,
z/OS.e V1.7, z/OS.e V1.8
z/OS V1.9 or z/OS V1.7, z/OS V1.8, z/OS V1.9,
z/OS.e V1.9 (5) z/OS.e V1.7, z/OS.e V1.8, z/OS.e V1.9
Notes
- OS/390 V2.10 end of service was September 2004.
- z/OS V1.1 end of service was March 2004.
- z/OS V1.2 end of service was October 2004.
- z/OS V1.3 end of service was March 2005.
- Operating system levels beyond z/OS and z/OS.e V1.7 represent current intentions of IBM.
This consistent coexistence, migration, and fallback policy applies to release migrations for all configurations, whether they are:
- Single system configurations
- Individual systems within a multisystem configuration
- Cases where a simultaneous IPL is used to migrate all systems in a multisystem configuration at the same time
Since each release of z/OS.e can normally be ordered only until the next release of z/OS.e becomes orderable, it is very important that you order the required z/OS.e release you need for migration and coexistence while still available.
For additional information on z/OS.e 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 a customer's SMP/E Consolidated Software Inventory (CSI). With these offerings, you specify the release of z/OS, z/OS.e, or other products, or hardware (for example, 2066) 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
Fallback for z/OS.e is at a system level, rather than an element or feature level. Since you migrate to JES2 or JES3 at the same time you migrate to z/OS.e, you cannot back out JES2 or JES3 separately; you can only back out the entire z/OS or z/OS.e product.
Although you must run the level of JES that comes with z/OS or z/OS.e, that JES can communicate with certain lower levels of JES running on other z/OS and z/OS.e systems in the same multi-access spool cluster (MAS) or multisystem complex.
For additional information on z/OS and z/OS.e JES release migration and coexistence, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) by visiting
Performance considerations
Performance of z/OS.e V1.7 is expected to be equivalent to the performance of z/OS V1.7 running on equivalent hardware. Information on z/OS V1.7 performance will be available at general availability. You should consult your marketing representative at or after general availability.
Planning information
Customer responsibilities: For details, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e V1.7 Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) at
Installation and customization
ServerPac enhancements: Concurrent with z/OS V1.7 general availability, ServerPac will provide support for:
- Merging z/OS UNIX® file systems: This support can allow you to merge z/OS UNIX file systems in zFS and HFS data sets in a way similar to the support for PDS and PDSE data sets, when the merge would result in a usable mount point. This can help you simplify file system configurations and parmlib management for file systems.
- IBM Health Checker for z/OS: Once the ServerPac installation steps have been completed, IBM Health Checker for z/OS will be enabled, reducing the setup required for use. This can help you use its new functions more quickly to identify potential problems in your installation.
- The Customized Offerings Driver (5655-M12) has been updated to support the installation of z/OS V1.7, with SMP/E V3.4 and the additional driving system PTFs required to install z/OS V1.7. The Customized Offerings Driver is available on tape media for 3380-3 and 3390-3 DASD. 4mm media support is planned to be withdrawn effective September 15, 2005.
SystemPac® enhancements: Concurrent with z/OS V1.7 general availability, SystemPac will provide support for:
- Merging z/OS UNIX file systems: This support can allow you to merge z/OS UNIX file systems in zFS and HFS data sets in a way similar to the support for PDS and PDSE data sets, when the merge would result in a usable mount point. This can help you simplify file system configurations and parmlib management for file systems.
- IBM Health Checker for z/OS: Once the SystemPac installation steps have been completed, IBM Health Checker for z/OS will be enabled, reducing the setup required for use. This can help you use its new functions more quickly to identify potential problems in your installation.
SMP/E enhancements: z/OS.e V1.7 SMP/E includes the same functions as SMP/E V3.4 (5655-G44). SMP/E V3.4 has been enhanced to provide Internet Service Retrieval. This capability allows you to automate ordering and delivery of PTFs and HOLDDATA. The PTFs and HOLDDATA can be processed in the same job step. This can help eliminate manual tasks currently required for ordering and delivery of IBM PTFs using current methods.
Because it is not necessary to place an order when using Internet Service Retrieval, you might wish to use a batch scheduling system (such as IBM Tivoli® Workload Scheduler for z/OS) to retrieve service and Enhanced HOLDDATA on a regular basis to keep both service and service information as current as your installation requires.
SMP/E V3.4 has been enhanced to use an alternative method to calculate SHA-1 hash values if Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF) is not available for use. Although ICSF is the preferred method, SMP/E no longer requires it. If SMP/E detects that ICSF is not available, SMP/E will automatically use an SMP/E Java™ application class to calculate SHA-1 hash values as an alternative. Refer to SMP/E User's Guide (SA22-7773) for the required setup.
ShopzSeries: As of January 10, 2005, ShopzSeries supports Internet delivery for ServerPac orders. For details about all the Internet delivery options available in ShopzSeries, refer to

ProductPac is a software package that includes an individual product or small number of products built based on your SMP/E profile. RefreshPac is a software preventive service package based on your installed inventory. The product currency report shows whether the products that are installed on your system, based on your submitted Consolidated Software Inventory (CSI), are current or at the latest level available. You will also get a list of the software products on your system that have reached end-of-service or have been withdrawn from market and their replacements.
ProductPac multi-zone support: The ProductPac offering in CustomPac has been enhanced so that you can now include products from multiple zones and have the benefit of:
- Getting a full service upgrade on your whole environment, based upon selected zones.

System integrity
IBM will accept APARs where the installation of z/OS.e introduces an exposure to system integrity.
Program services
Central service for suspected defects in z/OS.e code is provided by the IBM Support Center within your geography. On-site (local) support, although available in many geographies, is provided as part of the IBM portfolio of fee-based services.
Service policy
IBM plans to provide service support for each release of z/OS.e 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 will be given for z/OS.e before the withdrawal of service for a version or release.
z/OS.e 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 Microsoft™ Windows™ 95.
Coexistence and migration rules apply and should be taken into account in planning future migrations. Refer to the Coexistence, release migrations, and fallback section for additional information.
Security, auditability, and control
Data security and auditability in the z/OS.e environment are enhanced by the functions available in the optional Security Server for z/OS.e feature. The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities.
Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF)
provides application programs with callable service interfaces to support the encryption and
decryption of data using the cryptographic hardware in the zSeries servers. ICSF adds support for
callers running in 64-bit addressing mode. ICSF support for AMODE(64) callers was also available in
the ICSF 64-bit Virtual Support for z/OS and z/OS.e V1R6 Web deliverable, which is being replaced by
the Cryptographic Support for z/OS V1R6/R7 and z/OS.e V1R6/1R7 Web deliverable in
September 2005. This support is planned to be included in z/OS.e V1.7. A limited set of
callable services for AMODE(64) callers will be supported on z990, z900, z800, and z890 processors.
They are intended to support System SSL, WebSphere®, and Java. The customer is responsible for
evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and
appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities.
