Issue/Introduction

Can I apply OPS/MVS z/OS and CICS compatibility maintenance before the operating system and CICS are really upgraded?

 

Environment

OPS/MVS-Event Management & Automation-for JES2

Resolution

We add the necessary code to make our software compatible with newer releases of 3rd party products. The PTFs can be applied prior to the z/OS and CICS upgrade. 

It is important to follow the installation instructions of the OPS/MVS compatibility maintenance to insure operational success. The details may require some tasks be performed after the third party software upgrade has occurred.
