No longer any ordering considerations for:
ICSF: since latest ICSF is integrated into z/OS R8, there are *no* concerns for
downleveling your ICSF level at this time.
Tivoli Netview and System Automation: since msys for Operations is no longer in
z/OS R8

z/OS V1R8 Ordering
The program number for z/OS Version 1 Release 8 is 5694-A01. When ordering this program number, remember to
order all the optional features that you were licensed for in previous releases of z/OS.
In z/OS V1R8 there are only two export controlled unpriced features: z/OS Security Level 3, and Communications
Server Security Level 3. z/OS Security Level 3 contains the sub-elements: IBM Tivoli Directory Server for z/OS Security
Level 3, Network Authentication Service Level 3, OCSF Security Level 3, and System Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Security Level 3,
Typically, when one new z/OS release becomes orderable in ServerPac and CBPDO, the previous release is orderable
for only a month. Due to this short overlap, it is very important that you order the z/OS release you need for migration and
coexistence while it’s still available for ordering. z/OS R4 users should plan to order z/OS R7 before the availability of
z/OS R8!
Ordering and Installing z/OS R8 Electronically!
In many countries you may order z/OS electronically through ShopzSeries. ShopzSeries provides customers a
self-service capability for planning and ordering S/390 software (and service) upgrades over the Web. It is the strategic
worldwide self-service ordering system for zSeries software. You can order products through ShopzSeries and have them
delivered electronically in some countries.
In most countries, ShopzSeries provides electronic ordering and electronic delivery support for z/OS Service. You can
access it directly off the ShopzSeries web site at: http://www.ibm.com/software/shopzseries
When you order the z/OS product on ServerPac from ShopzSeries, you can choose to have it electronically delivered to
you! This electronic ability was made generally available on January 10, 2005.
