Management has decided that it is time for the mainframe to go. They've got a project manager looking at a mainframe decommissioning project (feel my pain?). We are current now on z/os 1.7 and had ordered the 1.9 ServerPac and are in the beginning stages of that. Suddenly this project manager has decided that the majority of our applications will be moved off of the mainframe by the end of the year. Along with that, they have my supervisor asking for a risk assessment of NOT doing (completing) the 1.9 upgrade. <SNIP> Got an auditor handy? Assuming that you are with a CA State (or county) department, they better have a D/R plan that works. Because if you are in the LA basin, it is not IF, it is when.
