----------------------------------------

Last October, IBM previewed a new server operating system strategy for System/390(R) designed to significantly simplify the complexity associated with MVS(R) systems. Today, we are announcing the availability of the product that delivers on that strategy -- OS/390(TM). "OS" means operating system to most people whose business is computing, but think of this product as providing the Open Server function needed to move from today's computing environment to the network-centric computing world of tomorrow. Together OS/390 and S/390(R) Parallel Enterprise Servers deliver the most scalable, flexible, and high-performance capacity enabling customers to build and manage a global enterprise.

At the core is the reliability and security of S/390 MVS systems. The new value in OS/390 is the integration of more than 30 MVS software components, extensively tested and delivered as a single network-ready operational environment. The integration eliminates separate orders, eliminates separate prerequisite or corequisite checks, eliminates separate installations and customer testing after each step. Installation of OS/390 provides the base operating system, an open communications server, and distributed data and file services.

The latest functions in software technology are included, such as object-oriented programming, OSF Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), multimedia, UNIX(1) application interfaces, and Parallel Sysplex(TM) support. OS/390 is consistent with IBM's Open Blueprint(TM), network-centric initiative, and overall IBM software strategy. Finally, a full range of customized services offerings is available to easily and quickly make OS/390 your current operational environment. Every OS/390 customer will receive an OS/390 Internet BonusPak Internet server at no-charge that enables them to easily and quickly take advantage of the internet maketplace. For additional information, access the S/390 Homepage on http://www.s390.ibm.com.

Customers will realize OS/390 value from the simplification of enterprise computing. The many-faceted, complex operating system structure, that has evolved from S/360(TM) and S/370(TM), will be transformed to a S/390 server operating environment that is easier to maintain and support. The total costs of computing will be improved by doing more with less. Business (IT) infrastructure can meet the function and capacity growth demanded by users, new computing models, expanding business, and new client/server applications.

Preconfigured CD for PC Server 500 System/390: Available May 24, 1996 -- As part of the OS/390 software order, PC Server 500 System/390 customers can request a CD with a pre-configured OS/390 base image that provides a "load and go" system. This CD takes advantage of the unique dual operating system environment of the PC Server 500 System/390. It is available as a feature of OS/390 for no additional charge to Entry Support Licenses (ESL) of the base. See Hardware Announcement 195-147, dated May 23, 1995, for additional information.

Integration Testing: To further reduce migration time, the OS/390 product will be system integration tested using a production-like environment. This environment includes systems management function provided by SystemView(R) for MVS and subsystems such as CICS, IMS and DB2(R). This additional testing supplements existing functional testing with a focus on tasks performed by customers in the production environment, thus helping establishments move more quickly to new function. System integration testing will be provided for all releases of OS/390.

Installation and Delivery

New ServerPac

The entitled delivery options for OS/390 are the new ServerPac for OS/390 and the existing CBPDO(TM). The new ServerPac supports currently marketed MVS platform products, such as subsystems, compilers, or system management products of SystemView for MVS.

An OS/390 ServerPac order will allow the customer to select from a checklist of products. OS/390 ServerPac for CICS, IMS, DB2 and NCP are also entitled for OS/390 licenses. One order delivers all products that were selected from the order checklist. Delivery will be in the form of DLIBs, target libraries and an SMP/E CSI that reflects the integrated service level of the DLIB and target system libraries. These datasets are delivered in dump-by-dataset format. Separate install passes will be required for the MVS base SREL and each subsystem (CICS, IMS, DB2 and NCP). Each install path uses the same install dialogs and the install documentation is consistent throughout.

For additional information on the new ServerPac, see Software Announcement 296-020, dated February 20, 1996.

The orderable MVS Customized Offerings Driver, if required, will be delivered in a two-volume dump/restore format. DASD supported includes 3380, 3390 and 9345 (single density).

Install dialogs are provided to assist installation and tailoring of the OS/390 system. These dialogs support all SMP/E installable host and workstation products. Non-SMP/E-installable workstation code will be delivered on diskette, for example, for LANRES, LAN Server for MVS, VisualLift ADE, or TCP/IP Offload to OS/2. SMP/E-installable workstation products will be delivered in dump-by-dataset format for host loading, for example GDDM PCLK and OS2LINK, and SystemView for MVS base. Customers must however, download these from the host to a PC. Install dialogs will support tasks such as user-defined dataset naming, placement, or volume naming. The install dialogs save customer entered data for the next install, saving time and effort.

The OS/390 ServerPac will be validated prior to shipment by an initial program load (IPL) and install verification procedures (IVPs) executed at the production center, since it may include more products and features than participated in the systems integration test. Customers who use the OS/390 ServerPac can utilize SMP/E to install corrective service and/or other products that they choose to install at a future date on top of the OS/390 System, built using the OS/390 ServerPac.

OS/390 JES Considerations: Installations choosing to use JES2 or JES3 releases prior to OS/390 will need to bring these components forward into the OS/390 environment. The ServerPac supports customer use of existing JES2 or JES3 systems by placing the JES2 and JES3 libraries separate from system libraries.

Factory Preload Services

Factory-based preload services are available for OS/390 when DASD and a S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server or S/390 Parallel Transaction Server (IBM 9672) are ordered. See Marketing Announcement 394-199, dated September 13, 1994, for more details.

Enabling OS/390 Optional Priced Features

Selected OS/390 optional priced features use a new OS/390 product registration service, together with product policy statements, to determine whether or not the OS/390 priced feature has been ordered and should run.

Those OS/390 optional priced features that are ordered concurrently with OS/390 will be shipped by IBM together with policy statements in SYS1.PARMLIB which "enable" the ordered priced feature. OS/390 priced features, which may have not been ordered, may also be shipped with OS/390 but with policy statements which "disable" the unordered features. If the customer subsequently "enables" any of the optional priced features, those features become subject to the terms of the customer's existing OS/390 license as described in OS/390 Licensed Program Specifications (GC28-1728). Customers must notify IBM when they enable an optional feature that was shipped disabled from IBM. A detailed description of the enablement support for OS/390 features is available in OS/390 MVS Product Management (GC28-1730).

The OS/390 optional priced features which support this enablement capability in OS/390 Release 1 are:

DFSMSdss
DFSMShsm
DFSMSrmm
GDDM-REXX
JES3
TCP/IP CICS Sockets
TCP/IP IMS Sockets

For additional information on these functions, see Software Announcement 295-406, dated September 26, 1995.

Systems Management

SystemView for MVS Base: IBM SystemView for MVS is a member of the SystemView Series, designed to provide integrated systems management function from a single point of control for managing diverse, distributed computing systems. SystemView for MVS is IBM's solution for customers wishing to manage their enterprise from MVS. Rich in function, simple to install and use, open, comprehensive, and extendable, it is built on IBM's proven track record for reliable and effective systems management.

Simple and Reliable: SystemView for MVS flows from the SystemView disciplines that you have been using for years, putting systems management into business terms. The disciplines drive the overall organization of the SystemView for MVS user interface, from which you have common integrated access to the SystemView for MVS functions you have installed.

SystemView for MVS Functions and SystemView for MVS Base: Two ingredients -- namely, SystemView for MVS functions and SystemView for MVS base -- combine to create SystemView for MVS. SystemView for MVS functions provide the systems management functional content, while the SystemView for MVS base provides integrated access to the functions. The SystemView for MVS functions can be ordered separately.

OS/390 provides the SystemView for MVS base which consists of the following key items:

Launch window -- SystemView for MVS provides a single OS/2-based graphical interface via an integrated Launch window. This window provides easy access to each of the systems management functions. For each user, a profile is maintained by SystemView for MVS that identifies which functions and on which target systems that user should have authority to access these functions.
The SystemView for MVS Launch window is key in fulfilling one of the many objectives of the first release of SystemView for MVS, which is to integrate the rich set of SystemView for MVS functions "on the glass".
Simplified logon administration/authentication support -- SystemView for MVS requests the user to log on to SystemView from a SystemView workstation. The user ID and password provided by the user to SystemView for MVS are authenticated using RACF. Given that the user is initially authenticated by SystemView for MVS, then all subsequent logons needed to access most of the SystemView for MVS functions will be handled by SystemView for MVS's security support.
Command Tree support -- Command Tree reduces the need for you to be familiar with the syntax of commands because it helps build commands and route them to a designated system. VTAM, MVS, JES2 and JES3 commands are now available using the Command Tree function of NetView(R).
Support for a "roving" user -- A "roving" user is one who uses multiple workstations, but only one at a time. SystemView for MVS allows users to move from one workstation to another and still maintain the same capabilities and most of the user interface characteristics that they had on the prior workstation. Consequently, SystemView for MVS users do not need to constantly tailor the current workstation environment to match their particular needs.
Session management support -- SystemView for MVS will control the communication sessions required by the various SystemView for MVS functions residing on MVS. SystemView for MVS will also manage the assignment of 3270 emulation sessions required by SystemView for MVS functions.
The Launch window support of sessions with MVS systems eliminates the need for a user to directly manage the host emulation sessions.
Workstation installation support -- SystemView for MVS uses a software installer for OS/2 along with changes to packaging of the OS/2 client component of most SystemView for MVS functions to achieve installation consistency.

Application Enablement

High-Level Assembler Toolkit: OS/390 Release 1 includes the previously announced High Level Assembler Toolkit as an optional, priced feature. This Toolkit provides a powerful set of capabilities to improve application development, debugging, and recovery on MVS systems. The productivity-enhancing tools include:

A powerful and sophisticated symbolic debugger that simplifies and speeds the development of correct and reliable applications written in Assembler and other languages.
A complete set of macro instructions that implement the most widely used structured programming constructs (IF, DO, CASE, SEARCH) to simplify coding and eliminate errors in writing branch instructions.
A flexible disassembler that helps in understanding programs in object format as well as helping with recovery of lost source code.

For additional information, see Software Announcement 295-998, dated December 12, 1995.

VisualLift Run-time Environment: The VisualLift element provides a visual facelift that gives existing 3270-based applications a workstation graphical user interface (GUI), without programming and without changing the application at the host. By integrating the Runtime Environment in the base products of OS/390, customers will have the convenience of using Solution Provider, your own, or IBM VisualLifted applications without any additional cost or administration. The VisualLift Run-time supports both Windows+ and OS/2 Warp(TM) workstations.

VisualLift Application Development Environment Optional Feature -- The VisualLift Application Development Environment (ADE) optional feature of OS/390 (previously part of the VisualLift for MVS, VSE, and VM stand-alone product) includes tools for the cost-effective design and development of the workstation interface. Inconsistencies in host 3270 applications can be masked and the ability to control the input of false data reduces host interactions and makes the application easier to learn and use.

The VisualLift optional feature of OS/390 also provides exits and services to extend the functionality of applications beyond pure facelifting. For example, it can provide additional input validation on the workstation, or communicate with other workstation-based applications. Key to the development of this product was the requirement that VisualLifted applications provide the same integrity, reliability and availability characteristics as the underlying host applications and be cost effective to implement. OS/2 or Warp is required for the Application Development Environment.

C/C++: OS/390 Release 1 includes the C/C++ optional feature which contains the functions previously announced in C/C++ for MVS/ESA Version 3.

This optional priced feature introduces C++ to the mainframe. Building on the strengths of the existing C/370(TM) product, the OS/390 C/C++ feature integrates C++ language support into a state-of-the-art language-centered environment that application developers can use to create, modify, test, and debug mission critical C or C++ applications targeted to execute on the MVS/ESA platform.

The OS/390 C/C++ feature supports OpenEdition MVS allowing application developers to use object-oriented technology, including SOMobjects for MVS, to build OpenEdition applications.

The OS/390 C/C++ feature provides a number of application development tools and functions such as:

A standards-conforming optimizing C compiler (C/MVS(TM) compiler) This C compiler contains the familiar and robust technology that exists within the C/370 product.
A standards-based C++ compiler (C++/MVS(TM) compiler) delivering features consistent with other IBM C/C++ products, such as template support, exception handling, and C++ Direct-To-SOM. Direct-To-SOM allows application programmers to exploit IBM's robust and flexible SYSTEM OBJECT MODEL(TM) (SOM) from their C++ source code.
A set of C++ class libraries, from the IBM Open Class(TM) Library, consisting of the I/O Streams Class Library, Complex Class Library, Collection Class Library, and Application Support Class Library. Also included is the Class Library Source feature for the Collection Class Library and the Application Support Class Library.
The Database Access Class Library Utility which enables programmers to use class libraries to access DB2 in an object-oriented manner.
A mainframe interactive debugger which supports both C and C++ applications and provides functions such as stepmode, breakpoints, monitor, frequency analysis, and dynamic patching.
C/C++ support for Dynamic Link Library (DLL) generation. Application programmers can use DLLs to split their applications into smaller units and direct these units to be loaded only when required.
Interlanguage Communication Support (ILC) which supports the creation of C or C++ applications that can make interlanguage calls to COBOL, PL/I, FORTRAN, or Assembler.
C/C++ Model Tool which provides online help for C/C++ library functions and pragmas.

The environment combines the best of the technology inherent in the C/370 product with the object-oriented technology found in other members of the IBM C/C++ family of products. Since it supports object-oriented programming, you can reuse existing C++ objects to quickly create and modify applications. Since it is based on the C/370 product, applications created with the OS/390 C/C++ feature will be of the high quality on which developers of mission-critical applications depend.

For more information on C/C++ for MVS/ESA, as previously announced, refer to Software Announcements 295-069, dated February 28, 1995; 295-344, dated July 10, 1995; and 295-403, dated September 26, 1995.

SOMobjects Service Classes: SOMobjects service classes extend the power of SOMobjects for MVS, which is based on the System Object Model (SOM) technology for defining and managing binary class libraries. SOMobjects service classes provide solutions to common application development challenges, such as:

Storing and retrieving objects
How to group objects for the purpose of commitment control and memory management
How to handle large collections of persistent objects

These application development challenges are addressed through frameworks and classes such as:

A persistence framework which operates with VSAM and DATABASE 2(TM) (DB2) datastores
A stream framework for managing collections of persistent objects
Unit-of-work framework that eases the programmer's implementation of object updates and memory management

Software Announcement 295-497, dated December 12, 1995, contains more details on these functions.

MVS Applications Feature for TCP/IP: The OpenEdition MVS Applications Feature for IBM TCP/IP Version 3, previously announced, is included as an optional, unpriced feature of OS/390. This element provides a set of applications and interfaces to enhance interoperability between the OpenEdition MVS environment and varied other client or server hosts in a TCP/IP network. The feature relies exclusively on the OpenEdition MVS environment and is attractive to new users who may be familiar with appearance and function typical of UNIX systems.

OS/390 Release 2 Additional Function

In addition to the function previously described in Software Announcement 295-423, dated October 10, 1995, which included:

Future UNIX branding
ISPF Enhancements
YEAR 2000(R) information

the following are planned to be included in OS/390 Release 2:

System Services

Base Control Program

PARMLIB Concatenation Support: This support provides the capability to concatenate up to 10 additional data sets to SYS1.PARMLIB at IPL, giving the customer greater flexibility in managing PARMLIB in the installation. Changes and scope of access to specific data sets can be defined on a more granular basis. Most PARMLIB members will be eligible for specification in a concatenated dataset.

PARMLIB Symbolic Pre-processor Tool Enhancements: PARMLIB Symbolic Pre-processor Tool support for MVS/ESA SP Version 5 Release 2 and OS/390 Release 1 is being provided as a migration aid for parallel sysplex customers. This support provides the customer with the ability to interactively determine what symbol substitutions will take place in PARMLIB before use, potentially saving system IPLs. Error detection and correction can now be done from an ISPF session.

Enhancements introduced in OS/390 Release 2 will allow the customer to preprocess symbolics defined in a concatenated PARMLIB.

Force SYSCLONE Uniqueness: In MVS/ESA SP Version 5 Release 2 the SYSCLONE symbolic was introduced in PARMLIB as a short identifier for a system in a sysplex. For compatibility and migration reasons, the customer had the ability to indicate uniqueness did not have to be enforced. In this release, uniqueness of SYSCLONE across systems in the sysplex will be enforced.

Enhanced LNKLST processing: OS/390 Release 2 provides the following LNKLST processing enhancements:

The number of allowable extents for the LNKLST concatenation has been increased to 255
Customers can now specify during IPL that libraries other than SYS1.LINKLIB, SYS1.MIGLIB, and SYS1.CSSLIB be placed first in the LNKLST concatenation.

ISPF: The ISPF element in OS/390 Release 2 will include the following enhancements in addition to those previously described in Software Announcement 295-423, dated October 10, 1995:

Support for SCLM workstation build for UNIX clients of ISPF will be included.
Code pages for Latin-2, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Arabic character sets will be added.

Systems Management

DFSORT: DFSORT is IBM's world class sorting product. The newest release, DFSORT Release 13, will be an optional feature in OS/390 Release 2. DFSORT, together with DFSMS/MVS and RACF, form the strategic product base for the evolving system-managed storage environment. DFSMS/MVS provides vital storage and data management functions, RACF adds security functions, and DFSORT adds the ability to do faster and easier sorting, merging, copying, reporting, and analysis of your business information. And this is a single vendor solution which allows you to easily install or upgrade software.

DFSORT has a lot of exciting features packed into it. For details, visit the DFSORT home page on the World Wide Web at URL:

RMF: RMF, an optional feature of OS/390, plans to deliver support for the YEAR 2000, PARMLIB concatenation, and enhancements in performance reporting for cache and the coupling facility.

SMP/E: IBM plans on adding support in the SMP/E element of OS/390 for a new, BUILDMCS command. This command will facilitate the copying of FMIDs (and their installed service) from one target and distribution zone pair to another target and distribution zone pair. Currently, this is accomplished through a documented process using many SMP/E commands and considerable manual effort. The BUILDMCS command removes most of the manual effort involved and reduces the chance of error. This command will generate the SMP/E Modification Control Statements (MCS), JCLIN and libraries required to reinstall the specified FMIDs.

This enhancement supports the use of the system replace vehicles, for example, the new ServerPac, by making it easier for customers to bring forward no longer marketed IBM product or SMP/E supported ISV products rather than having to re-install them from scratch. They can either be copied to the new system environment or copied to a separate SMP/E environment depending on product requirements.

UNIX Services

IBM plans to complete the X/Open XPG4 UNIX Brand test suite and request branding by the end of 1996. This follows the XPG4 Base Profile branding of MVS/ESA Version 5 Release 2.2 in December 1995. In the first quarter of 1996 the XPG4 Base Profile Brand test suite will be re-run for OS/390 Release 1, and IBM will apply for a name change to the base brand that was issued in December 1995.

OS/390 is an integral part of IBM's overall network-centric computing strategy, and this branding will increase customers' flexibility to launch open, network-enabled applications on the server operating system.

PRODUCT POSITIONING

The S/390 strategy continues a major transformation in response to customer requirements for improved ease of use, software price aligned to value, an increased application portfolio and lower cost of maintenance. The strategy of OS/390 is to transform MVS/ESA into a fully integrated server operating system with competitive server functions such as Open and industry standards, network-centric computing support and UNIX application environment support including object technology. This server operating system will also reduce complexity by integrating existing products and features.

Software Servers for OS/390

Software Servers for OS/390 continue the S/390 software transformation that started with OS/390. This transformation addresses customer requirements for complexity reduction, application enablement, improved ease of use on the OS/390 platform and more functional consistency and interoperability across operating system platforms.

The Software Servers for OS/390 will specifically address two customer requirements:

Make IBM software easier to plan for/order, install test, and maintain. This will be accomplished by reducing the total number of software licenses by integrating products with functional affinity.
Further reduce the total cost of ownership of the S/390 platform. Combined with OS/390, the Servers will reduce installation and test time required. The terms and conditions for these servers may be different from those of the constituent products to provide consistency and package value.

The Software Servers for OS/390 consist of:

The already announced offerings:
- Internet Connection Server for MVS
- SystemView for MVS
The servers that are included in OS/390:
- The Communication Server
- The Security Server
Servers that are evolving:
- The Transaction Server
- The Database Server

The servers run on and exploit the OS/390 base operating system which contains a rich set of functions that support Open Blueprint, softcopy publications, and the prerequisite function for the servers.

The Software Servers share the following objectives and value:

Each Software Server provides a set of integrated functions which exploit the power of OS/390 and the S/390 hardware platform.
In addition, each Software Server provides a set of interrelated functions of products that are integrated together to optimize functional value to the customer and reduces customers' test time.
Each server is a member of a family of servers that runs across multiple IBM and non-IBM hardware and operating system platforms. The OS/390 servers will allow customers full participation in client/server architectures as both an application and data server. S/390 excels as an enterprise server for centralized data, systems management and other enterprise requirements.
The Software Servers streamline support costs by saving time and resources and offer pricing that is competitive with other platforms.
Future development on the OS/390 platform will be optimized to exploit functional extensions through these servers.
The Servers build on and exploit the classic strengths of the S/390 platform (hardware and operating system).

The following details on the Transaction and Database Servers are provided to give more insight into how today's products fit into this Software Servers structure:

Server Positioning -- Transaction and Database Servers: IBM has continually provided comprehensive and robust transaction processing and database capabilities for the S/390 system. The IBM products providing these capabilities are recognized leaders in the general purpose and high-end transaction processing systems marketplace with over 90% of Fortune 500 companies using them.

Over the years these products have improved their functional content and capability with additional function and features. In some cases, separate products or features related to one version were then incorporated, if appropriate, in subsequent versions.

As these products have become more and more successful and important to our customers, associated products have been provided which add value to our overall product solution. It is our intent, as with OS/390, to provide more comprehensive and easy to use server packages incorporating core functions, client/server support, and associated products. The associated products will either be provided in the server, as optional features of the server, or packaged together in an optional product.

These IBM Servers are the contemporary, single-stop solutions to business management in the complex world of client/server computing and electronic commerce. They operate across multiple popular system, network and database platforms. Uniquely, they enable the customer to combine and leverage the flexibility of client/server computing, the new business opportunities of electronic commerce, and the investment in existing core business applications.

Virtual Storage Requirements: Virtual storage requirements will be provided at general availability.

Compatibility: Products previously supported on the existing functions integrated into OS/390 will continue to be supported by OS/390.

Migration Flexibility: In a multisystem complex or sysplex configuration, three consecutive releases of OS/390 can coexist, providing compatibility and flexibility in migration. OS/390 can also coexist with supported MVS systems in a multisystem complex or sysplex.

Two consecutive releases of key subsystems running on OS/390, such as DB2, CICS, and IMS, can coexist within a multisystem complex or sysplex.

Within a sysplex, the following JES2 release levels can all coexist in the same multi-access spool (MAS): JES2 Version 5 Release 1, Version 5 Release 2, OS/390 Release 1, OS/390 Release 2 (when available).

Within a sysplex, the following JES3 release levels can all coexist in the same complex: JES3 Version 5 Release .2.1, OS/390 Release 1, OS/390 Release 2 (when available).

Specific functions may only be available on the up-level systems, or it may be necessary to up-level all systems to enable some functions.

JES Compatibility: OS/390 Release 1 is upwardly compatible with MVS/ESA Version 5 Release 2.2.

OS/390 Release 1 will run with the JES component shipped with the following versions and releases:

JES2 JES3

MVS/SP(TM)-JES2 3.1.3 + PTFs MVS/SP-JES3 3.1.2 + PTFs MVS/SP-JES3 3.1.3 + PTFs

MVS/ESA SP-JES2 4.2 + PTF MVS/ESA SP-JES2 4.3 + PTF MVS/ESA SP-JES3 4.2.2 (FMID HJS4421) (shipped after December 27, 1991) + PTF

MVS/ESA SP-JES2 5.1 + PTF MVS/ESA SP-JES3 5.1.1 + PTF MVS/ESA SP-JES2 5.2 + PTF MVS/ESA SP-JES3 5.2.2

JES2 and Sysplex

Single MVS Image: Customers will be required to build a sysplex when OS/390 Release 1 is installed. In a single system sysplex, XCF can be configured in local mode, so there is no requirement for a sysplex couple dataset.

If a JES2 release prior to MVS/ESA SP-JES2 Version 5 Release 1 is used in conjunction with OS/390 Release 1, a sysplex is not required.

Multi-access Spool with Multiple MVS Images Using One CPC: Customers will be required to use a sysplex when OS/390 Release 1 is installed. XCF must be configured with a sysplex couple dataset so that JES2 can keep track of member status.

If a JES2 release prior to MVS/ESA SP-JES2 Version 5 Release 1 is used in conjunction with OS/390 Release 1, a sysplex is not required. For this type of configuration, the JES2 multi-access spool (MAS) must have seven or fewer MVS images.

For customers using multiple MVS images, OS/390 Release 1 cannot be mixed with other pre-Version 5 levels of JES2 in the same JES2 MAS.

Multi-access Spool with Multiple MVS Images Using Multiple CPCs: Customers will be required to use a sysplex when OS/390 Release 1 is installed. A Sysplex Timer is required to synchronize time across the CPCs.

If a customer chooses to use a JES2 release prior to MVS/ESA SP-JES2 Version 5 Release 1, a sysplex is not required. However, the JES2 MAS that is implemented cannot contain more than seven MVS images.

For customers using multiple MVS images, OS/390 Release 1 cannot be mixed with other pre-Version 5 levels of JES2 in the same JES2 MAS.

JES3 and Sysplex

Single MVS Image: Customers will be required to build a sysplex when OS/390 Release 1 is installed. In building a single system sysplex, XCF can be configured in local mode, so there is no requirement for a sysplex couple dataset.

If a JES3 release prior to MVS/ESA SP-JES3 Version 5 Release 1.1 is used in conjunction with OS/390 Release 1, a sysplex is not required.

Multiple MVS Images Using One CPC: Customers will be required to use a sysplex when OS/390 Release 1 is installed. The sysplex couple dataset required by XCF must be allocated and used.

If a JES3 release prior to MVS/ESA SP-JES3 Version 5 Release 1.1 is used in conjunction with OS/390 Release 1, a sysplex is not required. For this type of configuration the JES3 complex must have eight or fewer MVS images.

For customers using multiple MVS images, OS/390 Release 1 JES3 cannot be mixed with levels of JES3 prior to JES3 Version 5 Release 2.1 in the same JES3 complex. When migrating to OS/390 Release 1 JES3, the JES3 feature must be migrated to the global processor before it is migrated to any local processor.

Multiple MVS Images Using Multiple CPCs: Customers will be required to use a sysplex when OS/390 Release 1 is installed. A Sysplex Timer is required to synchronize time across the CPCs.

If a customer chooses to use a JES3 release prior to MVS/ESA SP-JES3 Version 5 Release 1.1, a sysplex is not required. However, the JES3 complex that is implemented cannot contain more than eight MVS images.

For customers using multiple MVS images, OS/390 Release 1 cannot be mixed with levels of JES3 prior to JES3 5.2.1 in the same JES3 complex. When migrating to OS/390 Release 1 JES3, the JES3 feature of OS/390 Release 1 must be migrated to the global processor before it is migrated to any local processors.

JES3 Tape Utilities: OS/390 Release 1 removes support for the JES3 Tape Utilities. Customers are encouraged to convert their tape management to utilities supported by DITTO/MVS.

RMF Compatibility: The RMF included as an optional feature of OS/390 will be integration tested, ensuring compatibility. Customers intending to use the RMF Version 5 Release 2 standalone product with OS/390 should verify that the appropriate service level is applied.

OS/390 Migration Considerations: Because the components of OS/390 are integrated into a single package with compatible service levels, it is expected that customers will migrate all elements of OS/390 at one time. For the JES2 or JES3 component, the migration can be staged to remain compatible with other systems.

Customers using the CBPDO delivery option, will only have to install those elements and features of OS/390 which are at a higher level than their existing system. For example, MVS/ESA SP Version 5 Release 2.2 customers with DFSMS/MVS Version 1 Release 3 installed will have to install the new OS/390 level of the Base Control Program (BCP), but would not have to reinstall DFSMS/MVS or the OpenEdition MVS and HCD components of OS/390. Detailed instructions on how to migrate from an MVS/ESA SP Version 5 Release 2.2 system will be documented in the OS/390 Program Directory.

Note: Customers will need to perform "normal" release-to-release migration activities for any element that they install.

UNIX Services: In order to allow an orderly migration from earlier releases of OpenEdition MVS to OS/390, OS/390 will support various down-level releases of prerequisite products. It is important to note that conformance to the XPG4 Base Profile will be certified only on OS/390 Release 1 and OpenEdition MVS/ESA Version 5 Release 2.2.

CICS/MVS Considerations: For customers migrating to OS/390 from a pre-ESA MVS level, such as MVS/XA, CICS/MVS Version 2 Release 1.2, which was withdrawn from marketing effective April 30, 1994, (refer to Software Announcement 294-012, dated February 1, 1994), will be supported until December 31, 1996. Discontinuance of program services for CICS/MVS Version 2 Release 1.2, effective December 31, 1996, was announced in Software Announcement 294-500, dated September 6, 1994.

Performance Considerations: Performance information for OS/390 will be available at general availability. For a copy, contact your IBM representative.

User Group Requirements: This announcement satisfies or partially satisfies two requirements from one or more of the world wide user group communities, which include Australasian SHARE/GUIDE (ASG), COMMON, COMMON Europe, GUIDE International, G.U.I.D.E. Europe, Japan GUIDE/SHARE (JGS), Guide Latin American (LAG), SHARE EUROPE and SHARE Incorporated.

System Integrity

IBM will accept APARs where the installation of OS/390 introduces an exposure to system integrity of the MVS system. Refer to Software Announcement P81-174, dated October 21, 1981.

Security, Auditability, and Control

Data security and auditability in the OS/390 environment are enhanced by the functions available in Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) licensed program (5695-039), part of the optional OS/390 Security Server feature.

B1/C2 Security: The critical Operating System components of the OS390 base and security server and optional features, such as MVS/ESA and RACF (part of the optional Security Server feature), continue to be designed to meet the NSA's C2/B1 Trusted Computer Systems Evaluation Criteria. However, some OS/390 functions have not been designed to meet C2 or B1 and when used in conjunction with the above components may have an impact on the C2 or B1 capability of the total system. The impact can only be assessed on an installation-by-installation basis. Consequently, no formal claims about the C2/B1 security of OS/390 can be made. However, the C2/B1 capability of the OS/390 base and communication server may be useful in securing certification of some C2/B1 application systems based on OS/390.

Security APARs: IBM will accept Security APARs for OS/390. Security APARs are for reporting problems in existing security mechanisms where the problem descriptions do not meet the precise definition of system integrity, but do constitute an exposure to the security of the system as a whole or to an IBM product which runs on the system. Originally announced in Software Announcement 289-581, dated October 24, 1989.

User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities.
