z/OS® V2R1 Communications
Server, with TCP/IP APAR PI12981 and SNA APAR OA44671, provides a
new migration health check to use with the IBM® Health Checker for z/OS function. The new migration health check
determines whether you are using legacy device type configuration
statements in your TCP/IP profile.
Support for the DEVICE and
LINK profile statements for the following TCP/IP legacy device types
will be eliminated in a future release of IBM z/OS Communications
Server:
- ATM
- CDLC
- CLAW
- HYPERchannel
- SNALINK (LU0 and LU6.2)
- X.25
Because support will be eliminated for the ATM device type, the
following associated TCP/IP profile statements will no longer be supported:
When the TCP/IP stack processes a legacy device type profile
statement, it issues message EZZ0717I. See this message, and the associated
profile processing messages, for information on the profile data set
that contains the statements.
Dependency: You must install TCP/IP APAR PI12981 and SNA APAR OA44671
and start the IBM Health Checker
for z/OS to use the new migration
health check.

To use the new migration health check, take the following steps: - Configure and start the IBM Health
Checker for z/OS.
- Activate the ZOSMIGV2R1_CS_LEGACYDEVICE migration health check.
- Review health check output for potential migration actions. Use
the TCP/IP EZZ0717I message to locate the profile data sets containing
the legacy device type statements.
