Migrating to z/OS R8 Part 1 of 3: Get Ready z/OS Policy and Directions Release Frequency z/OS V1 R8 planned GA is Sept 29, 2006 This is another delivery on our annual release cycle All subsequent releases are planned for GA in September Coexistence-Migration-Fallback Service Support Migrating to z/OS R8 Part 1 of 3: Get REady © 2003 IBM Corporation © 2006 IBM Corporation Release Frequency In response to customer feedback that the 6-month release cycle was too short and complicated customer migration plans, IBM announced in August 2002 that the release schedule for z/OS has changed to a 12-month cycle. The vast majority of z/OS customers migrate to new releases every 12 to 18 months. Less frequent releases in the future will allow IBM to provide even more integration testing for z/OS and related IBM middleware. It will also enable IBM to align the coexistence, migration, and fallback policy with the service policy, with the annual releases. Starting with z/OS R6, IBM intends to deliver releases annually, with general availability in September. This predictable release cycle will enable you to better plan your migration, freeing you to increase the value of your computing environment to your business and deliver better service to your end users. New z/OS functions will continue to be delivered between releases through the normal maintenance stream or as Web deliverables. In addition, significant new functions may be delivered between releases as features of the product (such as what we've seen for the z990 support). z/OS V1R8 is the third release to be delivered on this annual release cycle. These statements regarding the new release strategy represent current intentions of IBM. Any reliance on these statements is at the relying party's sole risk and will not create any liability or obligation for IBM. All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice.
