Verify your IFAPRDxx Product ID is correct for z/OS Version 2

Description

Because z/OS has changed from Version 1 (V1) to Version 2 (V2), the IFAPRDxx parmlib member Product ID should reflect the new program number for z/OS. The Version, Release, and Modification values also found in IFAPRDxx should be specified as "*", so those values do not have to change; only the Product ID is affected by this change.

Table 1 provides more details about this migration action. Use this information to plan your changes to the system.

Table 1. Information about this migration action
Element or feature: Multiple.
When change was introduced: z/OS V2R1.
Applies to migration from: z/OS V1R13.
Timing: Before the first IPL of z/OS V2R2.
Is the migration action required? Yes.
Target system hardware requirements: None.
Target system software requirements: None.
Other system (coexistence or fallback) requirements: If you are sharing the IFAPRDxx parmlib member between z/OS V1 and V2 systems, keep the V1 Product ID statements (for 5694-A01). You can have both the V1 Product ID and the V2 Product ID statements in the same IFAPRDxx parmlib member. After you have completed your migration to z/OS V2, you can remove the V1 Product ID statement from your IFAPRDxx parmlib member.
Restrictions: None.
System impacts: Failure to update IFAPRDxx with the correct Product ID statement for z/OS V2 will result in various initialization failures. An example of one of these failures is the following: 
IFA104I REGISTRATION HAS BEEN 
DENIED FOR PRODUCT 
WITH OWNER=IBM CORP NAME=z/OS
FEATURE=TCP/IP BASE 
VERSION=.. ID=5650-ZOS
Related IBM Health Checker for z/OS check: None.

Steps to take

Follow these steps:
  • If you use ServerPac, the customized IFAPRDxx parmlib member has been shipped to you in CPAC.PARMLIB. Verify that you are either using that parmlib member, or have copied its contents to a parmlib member you are using.
  • If you are using CBPDO, use provided job ZOSREG in the RIMLIB, to place a customized IFAPRD00 member into your parmlib.
    Note: Customers must ensure that the policy in IFAPRDxx enables only the version/release at which they are licensed. Use of and enablement of z/OS features is subject to the z/OS license terms and conditions and must be done with the knowledge of your asset manager according to the terms and conditions for z/OS. For additional license terms and conditions, see the "Usage Restriction" section in the z/OS Licensed Program Specifications.
