Systemware Content Server z/OS, Xptr, and JHS compatibility with IBM z/OS
Systemware products are compatible with IBM z/OS V1.13
with the following exceptions:
| - | JHS R420 does not accurately represent jobs collected with job numbers above 65,535. Systemware's recommendation is that you move as quickly as practical to R510; until then, set your JES parameters to keep the job numbers between 1 and 65,535. |

IBM z/OS V1.12 introduction of new message IDs. This version of z/OS replaces
message IDs IEF373I with IEF032I and IEF375I with IEF033I
in order to expand the information available at step and job end.
Please ensure that you have C05613 applied for compatibility.
Following is a cross-reference of C05613 SYSMOD ID to supported release: Release 4.2.0: SWJM657 Release 5.1.0: SWJO309 |

Fix for IBM z/OS V1.13 problems with JES2 SPOOL migration:
A fix for IBM z/OS V1.13 is available for IBM APAR OA37332, which includes various problems discovered during extended testing of JES SPOOL migration. For example, after upgrade to z/OS V1.13, the Systemware JHS J20 panel display may be missing step name values for some files.
You can view details about the problems and corrections, as well as download the fix for this APAR from this IBM site:

Fix for potential exposure for undetected loss of data or dataset corruption for DFSMS VSAM/RLS users on z/OS V1.13:
Abstract: There is a potential exposure for undetected loss of data or dataset corruption for DFSMS VSAM/RLS users on z/OS V1.13.
Users affected: All z/OS 1.13 (HDZ1D10) VSAM/RLS users who are sequentially erasing records from a KSDS while simultaneously updating records via a concurrent request.
Products affected: z/OS 1.13 DFSMS VSAM/RLS (HDZ1D10)
Description: It is possible for an inserted or updated record to be unintentionally erased or down-leveled if concurrent RLS access of a KSDS has sequential erase activity and inserts/updates taking place at the same time. In order for data to be lost, at least one sequential erase must remove all records in a CI, such that CI reclaim is initiated for that CI. Subsequent sequential requests may then overlay other updates to the dataset, causing the previously updated records to be lost. The job that updated the record may not receive an error indication, or may receive unexpected logic errors such as "record not found." EXAMINE may also report key sequence errors.
Recommended action (APAR OA40253): View APAR OA40253 on the IBM site for additional information and actions to determine exposure.
