Finding Common Services for z/OS 15.0 maintenance on new Support Portal

Products

• COMMON SERVICES FOR Z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Please advise how to find the Common Services for z/OS 15.0 Solutions/patches page on the newly designed Broadcom Support Portal.

Environment

Release : 15.0
Component : COMMON SERVICES FOR Z/OS

Resolution

1. The "Common Services for z/OS MVS 15.0" Solutions/patches page can be found here:
   CCS 15.0 Solutions
   
   2.  To eliminate downloading unwanted maintenance:
   1. Along the top to the far right of the search box, use the calendar and select a date of Jan 1, 2019. R15.0 went GA in Jan 2019 so this will cut the maintenance down to the BASE release for the most part. Otherwise it will include the old maintenance for the LEGACY components that dates back to 1996. Use the calendar itself to enter the date, don't fill in 01/01/2019 otherwise it will be ignored.
   2. Click "Add All to Download Manager"
   3. A new box will show up stating "Download Selected". This will show a number of items, the most useful being the name of each of the components along with the number of fixes for that component. This way, if you do not use a specific component, you can ignore/delete it by clicking on the garbage can to the far right.
   4. Once that is done, download with the method of your choosing
