That's a pretty odd thing to happen from 2.1 to 2.3. What products were involved? I can see if the product had some ties into JES2 and you had to reassemble or relink the interface, but that can happen just by adding maintenance to any system. It's really odd for almost any vendor product to

I respectfully disagree. Upgrading when it's not necessary can be counter-productive for some sites. While many vendor products do require some maintenance to "fully" function, especially those that interact directly with the OS, that doesn't mean that older versions won't work, and in fact, s

Thanks for the correction, Jim. I was going by an IBM presentation that suggested z/OS 1.13 was the first release to get a "pure z/Architecture" IPL, but sometimes there are "unadvertised" details from people in the know. Much appreciated. There are some toleration PTFs (available under extended s

To elaborate a bit on the possible technical reasons why z/OS 1.12 probably won't work on an IBM z14 machine, even if you've applied every PTF you can lay your hands on to z/OS 1.12, the z14 is the first machine model to drop ESA/390 IPL support.

IBM offered extended support for z/OS 1.12 through September 30, 2017, for a fee. That end date was "close enough" to miss the first shipments of the first IBM z14 machines.
