With version 4.5, the record layout of the JOB KSDS, CICS KSDS, and IMS KSDS has completely changed to provide more information. With version 4.6, the record layout of the DIC KSDS and CST KSDS has changed. Depending on the version that you have formerly used, it is necessary to execute the corresponding upgrade job to convert the data into the new data structures if you want to use your previous data. The data upgrade to 4.7 can be done from versions 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.5.0 and 4.6.
