Hi Mark, As you might have seen, JAVA is not included in z/OS and so you have to order what you need. So, it really is something that you need to keep track of and make sure you have based on which functions you use. Yes, I know that is easier said than done. That is one of the reasons why we have support to run so many concurrently. And allow so many of them to be ordered with z/OS.
All of z/OS's functional dependencies are documented in z/OS Planning for Installation book, in the very important chapter "Software requirements for running z/OS V2R3". This section is critical to read if you need to know what you need for z/OS V2.3. In there, it has "Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) requires IBM 31-Bit SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition V8 (5655-DGG) or later. PFA does not support the 64-bit version of this SDK." You can find them all here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.e0zb100/pgmreqs.htm Hope this helps! -Marna WALLE, z/OS Installation and Migration, IBM Poughkeepsie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
