Back on January 24, 2007, I appended here that I'd put the z/OS R8 coexistence PTFs in the z/OS R5, R6, and R7 ZOSGEN PSP buckets. The addition of these PTFs to the PSP buckets made it possible to programmatically determine if you had the appropriate coexistence service on your current system for a migration to z/OS R8.
I talked about this at SHARE, and folks told me that they wanted me to do the same thing for a migration to z/OS R7. So...you asked for it, you got it! I've added the coexistence PTFs to the z/OS R4, R5, and R6 ZOSGEN PSP buckets for a migration to z/OS R7. (For those keeping track at home, this means that z/OS R5 and R6 ZOSGEN PSP buckets now contain the coexistence PTFs for migrations to both z/OS R7 *AND* z/OS R8!) The "extract files" which are used by the EPSPT are now available for z/OS R4 and z/OS R5 - the z/OS R6 "extract file" will be made available by tomorrow morning. I hope this proves useful to folks wanting to verify their coexistence PTFs. As always, I welcome feedback on your experiences with using EPSPT to verify your coexistence PTFs!
