Please join with me in complaining to IBM that there are no more
migration guides for z/OS JES2 and JES3, beginning with z/OS 1.7.
These _extremely useful_ books were "scrapped" because some
"genius" erroneously believed that the "z/OS 1.7 Introduction and
Release Guide" would provide equivalent information. See for
yourselves, it doesn't even come close!

AFAICT, all of that great JES2/JES3 migration information has been
lost! And, at the worst possible time too! (Look how much JES2 exit
rewrite is required due to the extensive JES2 infrastructure
changes in z/OS 1.7 needed to support large data sets and TCP/IP
over NJE! JES3 installations are lucky because no drastic JES3
rewrite was/is needed to support these features. But there will
almost certainly come a time for them as well.)
The old migration books provided, not just a list of changes and
new features, but guidelines and specific details on tolerating/
exploiting them. They were an invaluable resource! We need them back!
Ed,
Talk to your friendly SE:-)
