Systemware products are compatible with all supported releases of IBM z/OS and z/OS.e. For information about IBM z/OS availability and end-of-service dates, refer to this IBM site: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/support/zos_eos_dates.html

IBM z/OS compatibility was proven on the following Systemware maintenance levels:
| Release 5.1: | SW5102 beta |
| Release 4.2: | SW42M1 (z/OS v1.9), SW42K4 (z/OS v1.8) |
| Release 4.1: | SW41M1 (z/OS v1.9), SW41K4 (z/OS v1.8) |
Note:
| |
With older IBM z/OS versions, JHS did not accurately represent jobs collected with job numbers above 65,535; Systemware's recommendation was that you set your JES parameters to keep the job numbers between 1 and 65,535. JHS release 5.1 has been tested with z/OS V1R8 and z/OS V1R9; JHS correctly represents up to the maximum that JES can create in "z2 mode" (999,999). (JHS release 5.1 has not been tested with earlier z/OS versions, but there is no reason to believe that JHS job numbers would not be represented correctly.) | |
IBM z/OS V1R8 has the ability to display dummy DD names for jobs with INPUT ON. With this change, however, there is a problem in that duplicate DD names are being displayed on the System Search and Display (SDSF) JDS panel for jobs with INPUT ON specified. This SDSF 1.8 error is addressed with IBM APAR PK36183 and is expected to be included in IBM z/OS V1R9 base code.
IBM z/OS V1R7 contains a RACF enhancement to allow for use of mixed-case passwords. If you decide to enable this, and you are using one of the sample RACF security exits supplied by Systemware (JHSSEC14, JHSSEC18, or JHSSEC24), you will want to make sure you have C03520 applied. Following is a cross-reference of C03520 SYSMOD ID to supported release:
| Release 4.2.0: | SWJL148 |
| Release 4.1.0: | SWJH261 |
This notice applies only to Xptr or JHS customers currently running on or planning to upgrade to IBM z/OS V1R7. A Systemware PTF is required to avoid an ABEND (S001) in batch drivers when printing. PTFs to resolve the problem for the following Xptr/JHS release levels are:
| Release 4.2.0: | SWJL270 |
| Release 4.1.0: | SWJH365 |
You can find this maintenance on the customer information portal, or you can go to the Systemware FTP server. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact Customer Support at 972-239-2803 or techsupport@systemware.com.
