Check for any CA IDMS prerequisites for the operating system release or CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS) release that you are using or planning to upgrade to.
CA IDMS is certified for use with new releases of IBM operating systems and CICS TS when they become generally available. If there have been any changes in the operating system or in the CICS TS release that affect CA IDMS, the requirements for using CA IDMS on the platform are described in a Product Information Bulletin (PIB). The Product Information Bulletins are located at ca.com/support.
When upgrading to a new IBM processor such as the zNext or z196, check with IBM in advance for recommendations on how to preserve performance levels of existing software across the upgrade.
Business Value:
Ensuring that pre-requisites are addressed will provide for continued operation of CA IDMS at the current or optimal level of performance after upgrading to the new IBM software release or hardware.
Additional Considerations:
The CA Support Online website (ca.com/support) maintains a Compatibilities link that describes the product specific requirements for z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM, and CICS TS releases. After selecting the specific platform link, the CA IDMS requirements are located under the Databases link. For example, Product Support notice QI82743 provides information for configuring CA IDMS for use with z/OS 1.9 and above.
