This function was included in z/OS R7 as a separate FMID under the BCP element.
That z/OS R7 FMID was also made available in the Web deliverable IBM Health
Checker for V1R4/R5/R6 of z/OS and z/OS.e.
In z/OS R8, it’s a component of base element BCP FMID HBB7730.
This new base element, IBM Tivoli Directory Server for z/OS, is planned to
provide an optimized directory server, designed to allow greater
consolidation of LDAP directories on z/OS. This function is planned to be
made available by 1H2007. This is planned to enable you to collapse user
registries typically used by distributed applications on z/OS, which can help
simplify enterprise management and disaster recovery. The existing
Integrated Security Services - LDAP Server will continue to be available in
addition to the new z/OS R8 Server.
This base element has been removed from the system. IBM plans to
transition many of the msys for Operations functions to a new user interface
and infrastructure in a future release of z/OS.
This unpriced optional feature was new in z/OS R5 and contains several
subelements. A new subelement in z/OS R8 is IBM Tivoli Directory Server
for z/OS Security Level 3. This function includes and replaces the LDAP
Security Level 3 subelement.
