I'd like to make folks aware that I just finished refreshing the IBM Migration Checker for z/OS tool with z/OS V1.9 information!
This "as is" tool can be found on the z/OS download Web page (http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/downloads/ ). We've added 13 new migration programs (for 17 new z/OS V1.9 migration actions), in addition to the previously existing 14. Also, we've completely re-written one existing migration program to make it more usable (ETCUSS). It is important to note that this new tool level completely replaces the previous level. You can still keep the old level around, if you want, but you don't need to since this new level can help with both migrations to z/OS V1.8 *AND* z/OS V1.9. (And incidentally, several programs can even help with migrations to z/OS V1.7!) In case you don't know what the "IBM Migration Checker for z/OS" is, it's a tool to help you determine whether certain migration actions will be needed to migrate to z/OS V1.8 or V1.9 on your currently running system. It will not perform any changes, but can help you identify applicable migration actions, and verify that they have been performed correctly. There's more details on the tool from the z/OS download Web page. I would appreciate any feedback you may have on this new tool to our Feedback forum, or to me directly. (You can find out how to access this forum from the IBM Migration Checker for z/OS Web page.)
