Migrating to z/OS R8 Part 1 of 3: Get Ready information on TCP profile and configuration statements, refer to z/OS Communications Server IP Configuration Reference. � The SNMP Service Level Agreement (SLA) Version 1 MIB and the PAGTSNMP subagent. In z/OS V1.5, Communications Server provided a new SNMP SLA Version 2 MIB and NSLAPM2 subagent. IBM recommends that you migrate to the new Version 2 MIB and NSLAPM2. � The option of defining parallel Enterprise Extender TGs by specifying multiple SAP addresses. Beginning in z/OS V1.5, parallel EE TGs may be defined by using different EE VIPAs on one (or both) of the endpoints. � AnyNet. You may implement other IBM solutions such as Enterprise Extender (EE) as a replacement for AnyNet. � In z/OS V1.8, the remaining support for one-byte console IDs was removed from control blocks CIB, CSCB, ORE, WQE, XSA. This completes the removal of one-byte console IDs in z/OS. Instead of using one-byte console IDs, console names should be used. � Support for the following plug-ins for msys for Setup was withdrawn in z/OS V1.8: TCP/IP Services, z/OS UNIX System Services, Language Environment, Parallel Sysplex, ISPF, and RMF. You will not be able to use msys for Setup for function enablement, setup, or configuration of these areas of z/OS. The DB2 V8 msys for Setup plug-in is unaffected and remains available for setup and configuration of DB2. The TCP/IP plug-in will continue to be available for download via the Web and will no longer require msys for Setup. IBM intends to continue to deliver improvements to help with z/OS setup and configuration in the future. � z/OS V1.7 is the last release to support the z/OS msys for Operations element. msys for Operations has been removed from z/OS V1.8. IBM plans to transition many of the current msys for Operations functions to a new user interface and infrastructure in a future release of z/OS.

Migrating to z/OS R8 Part 1 of 3: Get Ready Functions Planned to be Withdrawn in the release after R8... Host communication between HCM and HCD with APPC (from HCM) In-stack version of TN3270 Server (from Communications Server) APPC Application Suite in Communications Server Run-time support for applications that use the C/C++ IBM Open Class (IOC) Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). Priced Feature - Only TCP/IP for host communication between HCM and HCD will be allowed. (Currently both TCP/IP and APPC are supported.) Base Element - use standalone TN3270 Server instead (introduced in z/OS R6) Base Element - more full-featured alternative applications exist in modern integrated SNA/IP networks. (APPC itself remains an integral part of SNA functions, and no plans to remove APPC from z/OS.) Priced Feature - Any application code that uses the IOC Library should migrate to use the Standard C++ Library Migrating to z/OS R8 Part 1 of 3: Get Ready = don't overlook! Planned for release in 2007 Planned for relase in 2007 Planned for release in 2007 Planned for release in 2007 © 2003 IBM CorporationfInfInInfo © 2006 IBM Corporation Planned for removal in the release following z/OS R8 This section lists items that IBM has announced it intends to remove in release following z/OS R8. You are encouraged to consider these removals when making your plans for system upgrades. These statements represent IBM's current intentions. IBM development plans are subject to change or withdrawal without further notice. � z/OS R8 is planned to be the last release that supports host communication between Hardware Configuration Manager (HCM) and Hardware Configuration Dialog (HCD) elements via Advanced Program to Program Communication (APPC). Today for host communication either Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or APPC are supported. Starting with the z/OS release available in 2007, the host communication will be done exclusively via TCP/IP. � z/OS V1R6 Communications Server and subsequent releases include a standalone TN3270 Server. This standalone TN3270 server is expected to provide increased flexibility, improved reliability, and simplified problem diagnosis as compared to the in-stack version of the TN3270 Server. z/OS V1.8 is planned to be the last release of z/OS Communications Server which will support the in-stack version of the TN3270 Server. After z/OS V1.8 this capability will be removed from the product. In preparation for that change, customers should consider implementing the standalone TN3270 Server. For more information, refer to http://www.ibm.com/software/network/commserver/zos/ � The APPC Application Suite is a set of common applications originally designed to enhance the value of SNA networks for end users. Since more full-featured alternative applications exist in modern integrated SNA/IP networks, z/OS V1.8 is planned to be the last release of z/OS Communications Server which will include the APPC Application Suite. After z/OS V1.8 the APPC Application Suite will no longer be shipped with the product, and will not be supported. However, note that APPC itself remains an integral part of z/OS Communications Server's SNA functions, and there are no plans to remove APPC from z/OS. For more information please refer to http://www.ibm.com/software/network/commserver/zos/ � z/OS R8 is planned to be the last release to include the C/C++ IBM Open Class (IOC) Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). Application development support for the C/C++ IOC Library was withdrawn in z/OS V1.5. The run-time support (DLLs) for applications that use the IOC Library is planned to be removed in the z/OS release available in 2007. Applications that are dependent on the IOC Library will not run starting with the z/OS release available in 2007.
