Issue/Introduction

Upgrading z/OS from 2.2 to 2.3, are there any required CA GEN PTFs for CA GEN 8.6 specifically for z/OS 2.2 that will need to be reapplied for z/OS 2.3 after upgrading?

Environment

CA Gen, release 8.6

z/OS 2.3

This confirms that both z/OS 2.2 as well as z/OS 2.3 do not require any CA GEN 8.6 PTFs in order to be compatible with CA GEN 8.6.
