The Z/OS upgrade (JAVA upgrade on USS) will have no impact on CMEW server.

Endevor CMEW (Workbench) has it's own Tomcat on CMEW server(PC), and Tomcat installation requires JVM on the CMEW server.  

To find out which Tomcat you are running. go to CMEW server C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\CA CM Enterprise Workbench\ew\WEB-INF\classes\deply.cfg
 
Type=DeployFile
name=deploy
ServerType=Tomcat
ServerHomeDirectory=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 8.5                         << this line contains the Tomcat version you are running on CMEW serever
EwContextRoot=ew
SharedFilesRequired=Y
EWwebapps=Y
EclipseService=N
CmewService=N


To find out which JVM version your Tomcat is running, go to configure Tomcat,  then click on the Java tab,  and look for the Java Virtual Machine.
