Review and reassemble user exit routines

Description

If you have written user exit routines, review them to ensure they are still appropriate for the current environment, and make changes as necessary. All user exit routines must be reassembled with the z/OS V2R2 level of the SDSF macro library.

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: SDSF.
When change was introduced: General migration action not tied to a specific release.
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 user exit routines are in use.
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

Review user exit routines to ensure they are appropriate for z/OS V2R2. Make changes as necessary. Regardless of whether you have made changes, reassemble the user exit routines with the z/OS V2R2 level of the SDSF macro library.

Tip: A PROPLIST statement, along with PROPERTY statements, both in the ISFPRMxx parmlib member, defines customized values for certain SDSF properties. It provides an alternative to writing user exit routines to customize those properties. A user exit routine that customizes the same property as a PROPERTY statement overrides the value on the PROPERTY statement.
