AGENDA

• Criteria and Format• z/OS Release 4 or z/OS Release 5?

–z/OS Release 5 Features• z/OS Release 6 Directions• Required Migration Tasks• Recommended Migration Tasks• Migration Tools and References


CRITERIA & FORMAT• Focus is on migration from z/OS V1.4 to z/OS V1.5

– See z/OS R4 Migration webcast for OS/390 V2.10 to z/OS V1.4 Migration, at http://search390.com/r/0,,12554,00.htm

• Does not include implementation of new function– But they are identified in z/OS V1.5 features – This is to say, the upgrade is a vanilla upgrade where only

changes necessary to accomplish the upgrade are performed

• Reference material is identified– Hyperlinks are active on PowerPoint Slide Show, which can be

downloaded. You may need to use CTRL-ESC to view reference.– This presentation can be downloaded from

http://www.mainframehelp.com/zOS_R5_Migration

• ServerPac install is assumed• For details on migration tasks, see z/OS V1.5 Migration,

at http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/e0z2m111


CRITERIA & FORMAT

• Normal upgrade tasks are not included– Upgrade user exits– Upgrade operations procedures and automation– Update PARMLIB– Update PROCLIBs, Logon Procs, JCL, etc.– Evaluate real storage allocations via SOFTCAP, at www.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS268

– Upgrade non-z/OS IBM and ISV products– Apply coexistence and fallback maintenance– Update Procs, catalogs, /etc/profile, etc. w/new, defunct

data sets• See z/OS V1.5 Migration at http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi

-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/e0z2m111

– zArchitecture tasks– Notification of management, application development

staff, end users regarding migration schedule and plans


z/OS V1.4 OR

z/OS V1.5?


z/O V1.4 OR V1.5?• Both are withdrawn from marketing; they can’t be ordered

– z/OS V1.6 is available until 09/2005

• Both are supported until 3/31/2007– z/OS V1.6 is supported until 09/2007– z/OS V1R5 support and both z/OS V1.6 dates are “projected”

• Bimodal Migration Accommodation-not an option w/V1.5,6– zSeries only; allows separate migration to z/OS vs. 64-bit & fallback

• z/OS V1.5 removes support for:– C/C++ Open Class Library– C/C++ with Debug Tool– OAM support for Filenet 9246, 9247 optical drive, and 12” optical

media from DFSMSdfp– ILM -- a Tivoli product will replace it– Windows 98 and NT Workstation 4.xx clients


z/O V1.4 OR V1.5?• z/OS V1.5 removes support for:

– USS _MAKE_BI=YES is replaced by compiler commands• Built-in make, c89, cc, and c++ commands are provided• Performance benefits never materialized• USS_MAKE_BI is ignored, but elimination will prevent confusion

and possible future errors

• z/OS V1.5 reduces support for:– JOBCAT and STEPCAT

• The default now is that they are disabled, but they can be enabled

• SMS-managed data sets and data sets with UCBs above the 16M line cannot use them today

• Using JOBCAT or STEPCAT can increase the time it takes to process a catalog request

• Use MODIFY CATALOG,ENABLE(JOBSTEPCAT) to enable the use of JOBCAT and STEPCAT

– Put command in COMMNDxx to enable JOBCAT and STEPCAT at IPL

z/OS V1.5 MIGRATION

TASKS


C/C++ MIGRATION• Eliminate use of C/C++ IBM Open Class Library (IOC)

– Compile and link with IOC is no longer supported or possible– Run time is still supported, but will not be in a future z/OS release– Application Support and Collection Class Libraries are eliminated– New applications should use C++ Standard Library– UNIX System Laboratories I/O Stream and Complex Mathematics

Libraries are still supported• IBM recommends convert to Standard iostream and complex classes

• Tailor C/C++ utilities if using OS/390 V2.10 C/C++– Utilities now default to ISO C/C++ Standard (ISO/C++ 98, ANSI/C+

+ 98)– LANGLVL(COMPAT92) causes utilities to use OS/390 V2.10 C/C++– JCL, Procs, REXX Execs, SYSLIB, Search option may need to

change– OS/390 V2.10 level of C/C++ will be removed in the future


COMM. SERVER MIGRATION

• Explicitly code LDAP_Schema Version if default is taken and schema V2 objects are defined– Default has changed from V2 to V3– LDAP_Schema Version is a parameter on Policy Agent

ReadFromDirectory configuration statement

• Use VTAM buffer trace, TCP/IP packet trace for SNALINK– SNALINK GTF trace has been eliminated

• Eliminate OMPROUTE CTRACE ALL option if writing trace data to DASD– ALL now diverts trace data to CTRACE– DEBUGTRC does the same as ALL

• Start RXSERVE IPV6=N so RXSERVE exits work;default=Y

• Tailor system for changed Sendmail default directory– Due to IPv6, default is changed from /etc to /etc/mail



• Update automation, operations procedures for NETSTAT Display command– Several displays, reports now use the LONG option– FORMAT LONG/SHORT on IPCONFIG, FORMAT/-M can set

SHORT

• Update automation, operations procedures if IPV6 or FORMAT LONG is set in TELNETGLOBALS in TCPIP profile– 2 line message format is used in these cases

• Tailor applications using gethostid and/or gethostname if STACKACCESS is protected by security product– Application must establish stack affinity to TCP/IP stack

• Remove automation on message EZZ4313I if it activates Enterprise Extender resources– EZZ4313I is now issued after Enterprise Extender link is

activated, not before



• Explicitly code IPRESOLV for Enterprise Extender– Default is changed from 45 seconds to 0 (no timeout)

• Verify HOSTNAME <65 characters on PATH of Switched Major Node for Enterprise Extender– The maximum is now 64, rather than unlimited

• Verify CSM monitor setting is correct– Default has changed from OFF to DYNAMIC

• Use new MAXSLOW parameter on XCA port, CUADDR parameter, if slowdowns on XCA channel is occurring– A setting of 200 is recommended

• Tailor automation, operations procedures if SIRFMSG= LUSSCP or ALLSSCP is used on CDRSC definition– New DSIRFMSG startup option changes the way message

IST663I is issued


CRYPTO. SVCS. MIGRATION

• Add new services to the CICS wait list in ICSF– Not required if FMID HCR770A was installed on z/OS V1.4– Only required if CICS-ICSF Attachment Facility is used and

CICS wait list data set is specified– See z/OS V1.5 Migration Guide for services to specify

• Migrate the OCSF directory structure– Only required if Open Cryptographic Services Facility is

installed– See z/OS V1.5 Migration Guide for steps involved

• Add alternate indexes to PKI Services data sets– Update ObjectStore & Issued Certificate List data sets using

job in SYS1.SAMPLIB(IKYMVSAM)

• Initialize the ICSF public key data set (PKDS)– Not required if FMID HCR770A was installed on z/OS V1.4– Initialize the PKDS via the ICSF ISPF panels


DFSMS MIGRATION• Define LE runtime library for Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL

s)– Add CEE.SCEERUN and CEE.SCEERUN2 to LINKLIST or– STEPLIB CEE.SCEERUN and CEE.SCEERUN2 to jobs that use DLLs

• STEPLIB may involve a significant number of JCL changes

• Use DFSMSdss BUILDSA to create Stand-Alone Services IPL-able core image (if using Stand-Alone Services)– Then use RACF or equivalent to protect

SYS1.ADR.SAIPLD.Vvolser– Then make a backup copy of the system

• Run Samplib job LCSBLD1 to update SYS1.IMAGELIB– If using line-mode printers– If not using old SYS1.IMAGELIB– Then copy tailored FCBs and UCS images from old

SYS1.IMAGELIB– LCSBLD1 creates character sets, graphic character modification

modules, and character arrangement modules


DFSMS MIGRATION

• Define RACF FACILITY class profiles– If using RACF FACILITY to protect DFSMShsm commands– Otherwise, the commands fail

• Verify VOLCAT has space for 255 media types– If using > 4 media types or > 5 recording technologies– LIBRARYENTRY in VOLCAT has increased in size

• Run CBRSMR15 Samplib job to convert optical configuration data base to z/OS V1.5 format– If using OAM– CBRSMR15 adds new OUNITNAM and DATACLAS columns

to the TAPEVOL table


DFSMS MIGRATION

• Recompile ADRUXIT exit or user interaction module (UIM) due to ADRUFO changes– UIM is a way of invoking DFSMSdss from a program via an

Application Programming Interface (API)• It’s one way of changing installation options

– ADRUFO parameter list has increased in size and fields– UFOFUNCT and UFOPARM sizes have increased– UFOT0IND is now UFO4FLGS


DFSORT MIGRATION

• Update automation, operations procedures for changes to ICE000I– Because DFSORT is now only an optional feature of z/OS,

ICE000I reflects z/OS product number, not DFSORT product number

– Release level has also changed, to V1R5

• Review changed defaults to ICEMAC macro, tailor if necessary– COBEXIT is changed from COB1 to COB2– DSA is changed from 32MB to 64MB– TMAXLIM is changed from 4MB to 6MB– ZDPRINT is changed from NO to YES– Changes are made to improve performance


INFOPRT. SRVR. MIGRATION• Migrate NetSpool, IP Printway to Infoprint

Server if these PSF features are being used– aopmig migration program is provided with Infoprint Server– aopmig output is input to the Printer Inventory Definition Utility

• Export the Printer Inventory and copy other tailored files– z/OS V1.2, V1.3, or V1.4 IS Printer Inventory via IS pidu

command– IS Tailored Configuration File (aopd.conf) and aopstart EXEC– IP Printway and NetSpool exit routines; recompile is not needed

except new function– IS Print Interface data stream filters and SAP Callback Daemon

Configuration File (aopsadp.conf)– IS Transform Configuration File (aopxfp.conf)– Update AOPXFP_CONF to current SAP-to-AFP transform directory– If UserInit/preload.ps or transform fonts are changed, copy

directory to z/OS V1.5 system


INFOPRT. SRVR. MIGRATION• Export Printer Inventory & copy other tailored files (

cont.)– IS Transform multibyte conversion tables– IS Transform font-mapping table user modifications– IS Transform 300-pel fonts (converted from 240-pel)

• Upgrade Java to SDK level 1.4 for IS IPP Server– Print Interface Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) Server

requirement• IPP Server accepts print requests from client via IPP protocol

– Only needed if IPP Server is used

• If using NetSpool, start the NetSpool daemon aopnetd– Add netd to start-daemons in config. File– Then start w AOPSTART JCL procedure or aopstart command


JES2 MIGRATION• Update automation, operations procedures for defunct p

arameters– Display/modify post-execution jobs w/SRVCLASS, SCHENV,

SCHENV_AFF, or SECLABLE_AFF - values are no longer maintained

• Update programs that process ENF58 record for print– An 11th qualifier indicating “checkpoint issued” has been added

• Update exit 34 to support PSO unallocation flagging– Peripheral Data Definition Block (PDDB) address is now set to 0

at PSO unallocation, as well as unknown or internal reader data set

• Tailor exits to handle WLM null service processing– Only needed if using WLM-managed initiators

• Jobs that have MODE=WLM on any JOBCLASS(x) statement

– If using the default WLM policy, a null service class is given to jobs

– Previously, batch jobs with a null service class were not selected for execution. Now they can be.


JES3 MIGRATION• Tailor exits and other JES3 programs to use IATXDATX

– It’s needed when a program uses the DATCC value to address data within a spooled record from the DAT prefix, or

– When using DATXMLEN or SVTMUBLN fields in IATYSVT macro, or

– When using the TVTMUBLN field in the IATYTVT macro (to determine free space in a buffer)

– In all these cases, change the program/exit to use the IATXDATX macro

• Update the BFSIZ parameter on NJERMT statement– Required if BFSIZ is coded on directly-connected BSC NJE

nodes– 2 additional bytes have been added to the prefix of JES3 spool

records– The maximum buffer size is now the value of BUFFER BUFSIZE

minus 46, not 44.


LE MIGRATION• Upgrade LE definitions in CICS System Definition file

– LE programs, transactions, etc. are updated for current LE– Sample definitions can be found in CEE.SCEESAMP(CEECCSD)

• Verify LE modules in LPA are correct for this release– See LE Customization; also add CEE.SCEELPA to LPALSTxx– CEE.SCEESAMP has PARMLIB samples for base and 4 languages

• Evaluate impact of changed LE run-time defaults– HEAPCHK has a pool depth option– HEAPPOOLS provides for definition of 6 additional pools– Options are defined in CEEDOPT (non-CICS) and CEECOPT (CICS)

• Also tailor them to match current CEEDOPT, CEECOPT CSECTs

• If using C/C++ putenv(), tailor _EDC_PUTENV_COPY– putenv() string is now put into environment variables array– Change _EDC_PUTENV_COPY to _EDC_PUTENV_COPY=YES to

cause putenv() to work as it did in prior OS/390 and z/OS releases


MVS BCP MIGRATION• Enable z/OS V1.4 Console Enhancements Feature

– Console Enhancements Feature is integrated into z/OS V1.5– Name consoles via NAME parameter in CONSOLxx– Use ALTGRP, not ALTERNATE, in CONSOLxx– Remove UD from CONSOLxx; it’s unsupported

• UD = undeliverable message

– Use SYSLOG or OPERLOG instead of a printer in CONSOLxx• Remove DEVNUM & HCPY from HARDCOPY in

CONSOLxx;unsupported

– Cease use of R option on CONTROL command; it’s unsupported

– Verify MAXCADD is large enough to handle 3 more command area dataspaces

– MSCOPE default is now *, not *ALL• This is IBM’s recommended value

• Create IPL TEXT via ServerPac job


MVS BCP MIGRATION

• Reassemble Standalone Dump via ServerPac job• Reallocate Coupling Facility lock structures if they

use record data– Unless UW92486 is already applied (APAR OW52437)– APAR OW52266 provides coexistence support

• Revise programs with invalid WTO/WTOR parameter lists– Prior to z/OS V1.4 Console Enhancements Feature, they

got a return code of 0– They might not have worked properly despite the 0 return

code– Programs will now incur a D23 abend

• Tailor accounting methods that track WTO and WTOR overhead– Formerly WTO and WTOR processing was asynchronous,

but now it’s part of SVC35 processing & more overhead is recorded


RMF MIGRATION

• Tailor RMF for changes to security access checks– Needed if generic profile checking is active using ERBSDS.*

profile and protecting Monitor II and III is not desired– RMF now provides optional access checks for this data via

ERBSDS.MON2DATA and ERBSES.MON3DATA profiles– Use ERBSDS.SMFDATA for RMF to work the same as z/OS

V1.4

• Upgrade Working Sets to new Spreadsheet Reporter format– Use MigrateOvwWorkSet.bat and

MigrateReportWorkSet.bat procedures to perform migration

• Eliminate WKLD suboptions for Monitor I– All suboptions are now ignored because WLM now runs in

Goal Mode only & suboptions were for Compatibility Mode


SECURITY SRVR. MIGRATION

• Tailor Security Server for Multilevel Security Support– Eliminate SYSMULTI security label if using one– If using SETR MLACTIVE review profiles for required security

labels– If SECLABEL class is active review SERVAUTH profiles for

required security labels– Review classes which are changed to EQUALMAC

• Update database templates (can now be done dynamically)

• Compare existing classes to new Security Server classes for duplicates

• Review RACROUTE for PASSCHK=NO– Now required for REQUEST=VERIFY, VERIFYX– Supports the use of the *BYPASS* user id to create ACEEs

• Run dynamic parse– Performed by issuing the IRRIDPI00 command


SMP/E V3.2 MIGRATION• Replace method of specifying utilities SMP/E can call

– GIMUTTBL module and GIMDFUT macro are now obsolete– Define utilities in RACF or other security package PROGRAM

general resource class

• Convert to new dialog customization method– Customization options are no longer defined in GIM@UPRM

panel– GIM@PRIM Primary panel now has Option 0 which brings up

panel GIM@PARM, where you can specify customization options

• Use LINK LMODS command instead of CALLLIBS– REPORT CALLLIBS has been removed in SMP/E V3.2

• Upgrade SMP/E zones where old release compatibility is no longer required– UPGRADE command causes upgraded zones to have 3.2

capability– This allows exploitation of new SMP/E V3.2 functionality


OTHER MIGRATION TASKS

• ISPF– Reassemble and relink-edit all SCLM project definitions

using new macros• Not required if PTF UW89007 is installed

• SDSF– Reassemble user exit routines

• Use the z/OS V1.5 version of the SDSF MACLIB

– Reassemble customized ISFPARMS• Required if ISFPARMS has been tailored and is in assembler

macro format• IBM recommendation: convert ISFPARMS to the dynamic

statement format, so assembly will no longer be required.
