There is still much more to do to bring JES2 up to JES3 standard, but
apparently IBM believes they can get it all done by September 2021...
Hahaha, LOL, I don't believe in such predictions that something will happens at
time X/Y/Z. Usually I take such 'predictions' with a very small pinch of
tasteless salt, but I will remember it and wait at the predicted date/time.
Haha! Me too! I've won almost every bet I've ever made on such timelines
being overly-optimistic. LOL :-D
Oh, wait, big blue forgot about backward compatibility...
In a BIG way! :-\
I however see, there will be a lot of vendors trying to assisting conversion to
JES2 from JES3.
You're right! Among others, I suspect IBM Global Services will try to
pretend they actually know how to perform the conversion and charge
tremendous sums of money to try to do so! =-O
There's plenty of time to get it right. By my calculation, today's
announcement gives JES3 only another 10 1/2 years of life before it
becomes fully unsupported software. I might be retired by then... ;-)
