There is no z10 compatibility maintenance for OS/390.
The last *supported* configurations was OS/390 2.10 with the feature on 
z990. Later machines were not supported to run OS/390, even with the add-on.


Side note: this is deep sh*t situation. You have system which is way out 
of support, with no service required to run it on anything from z990, 
and you are guaranteed your system will not run without the feature. Not 
may not run.
Assuming you'll get the compatibility feature, you are still in may not 
run mode, because it's z10, not z990.


How to solve it? My humble advice: order current version of z/OS and 
install it on z10 or other machine. Then try to move your apps and data 
onto new system. Work on copy, so you can fail and retry as many times 
as you need.

(I have been in similar situation, done, that.)

And just by way of encouragement, back around 2010-11 we upgraded three 
customer sites from OS/390 1.3 (running on Multiprise 2003) to z/OS 1.10 
(running on z10) with some applications dating back to the 1970s and earlier.  
Very few of the applications required any changes (and those were mostly 
limited to coding errors which subsequent IBM updates started to detect).  The 
major effort was configuring RACF, JES2, and TCPIP to look and feel as close 
as possible to what the users were used to.

Re: z990 compatibility feature

Hi,

I do this kind of upgrade multiple times per year.  You would be surprised to 
know how many sites are still running OS/390 and really old versions of z/OS.  
You can run OS/390 under z/VM on the Z10, but that is well and truly just a 
stopgap measure and not a production environment suggestion.  Converting from 
OS/390 to z/OS 1.13 (or 2.2) is a big jump, but easily doable.  Depending on 
your other subsystems and your application dependencies, the entire upgrade 
should take no longer than 3 months from start to finish.  It's the extra 
subsystems and the non-IBM vendor software that always cause the most problems. 
 If you can supply more information on the software configuration you are 
currently running with/under OS/390, I can probably point you in the right 
direction on how to proceed.  I am just finishing up a conversion for a County 
site that needed to replace their mainframe box and so had to move from z/OS 
1.4 to z/OS 1.13 (and next to 2.1) so that they could get off an old z/800 and 
move to a z/BC12.  It went very smoothly and except for the fact that their 
main systems programmer died partway into the conversion (natural causes), 
there were no big software issues at all.

You can also contact me offline if you want and we can discuss where you are 
software-wise and where you need to position yourself to get things done.

z990 compatibility feature

2015-07-18 Thread Tony Thigpen
We have OS390 2.10 and we are wanting to run it on a Z10 native we have 
a 2098. We had heard that you could install the Z990 compatibility 
maintenance and run OS390 2.10 on a Z10 so we installed the Z990 
compatibility maintenance. What else has to be done to run OS390 2.10 
native on a Z10?  We only see the the 2084 in the HCD.


Can we get the HCD fmid for the z10?
