| Applies to migration from: | z/OS V2R1 and z/OS V1R13. |
| Timing: | Before the first IPL of z/OS V2R2. |
| Is the migration action required? | Yes, if you use any ISV products and need to reconnect them after performing a ServerPac installation. |
| Target system hardware requirements: | None. |
| Target system software requirements : | None. |
| Other system (coexistence or fallback) requirements: | None. |
| Restrictions: | None. |
| System impacts: | None. |
| Related IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® check: | None. |
Steps to take
Check with your ISVs to make sure the product levels you are using support the new z/OS release, and then reconnect your ISV products to the new release of z/OS following the instructions provided by the ISVs. If any ISV products do not need to be installed in the same libraries and zones as z/OS, place them in their own sets of libraries and SMP/E zones. This means that, unless you have to change ISV product code, such as installing PTFs, or obtain a new level of the product, you will not need to reinstall it after you install a new ServerPac.
