Acknowledgements

Default Options Table Deprecated

The Default Options Table is deprecated and replaced by TYPE=CONFIG members in this release. The migration from Default Options Table to TYPE=CONFIG member is simplified by an automatic conversion process the first time a Default Options Table is loaded by a server, admin server, or batch job. In addition, existing batch JCL with the DFLTAB parameter specified interprets the DFLTAB parameter as the CONFIG parameter, without failing the job.

XCOMPLEX Environment Deprecated

The XCOMPLEX deprecated environments include:

The PLEXQ facility introduced in r11.6 is used for a replacement. A PLEXQ environment has been introduced in servers which are also part of an XCOMPLEX. The two coexist so that migration to the PLEXQ is accomplished more easily.

XCOM CICS Interface Deprecated

The CICS interface panels for XCOM are deprecated. The ISPF interface for XCOM is used instead.

TYPE=USER Destination Member Obsolete

The TYPE=USER XCOMCNTL destination member and associated parameters are now obsolete. This destination type used “USER” for a remote system parameter and was historically used for the Windows 3.1 environment and is no longer supported.

Obsolete features include:

Version 1 Transaction Programs Obsolete

The DFLTVER parameter is now obsolete. Version 1 Transaction Programs for performing CA XCOM Data Transport file transfers have been removed from the product and are no longer available for use. As a result, any value that is specified for the DFLTVER parameter in the #DFLTAB macro generation or in a DEST member is ignored.

Messages are issued indicating that the parameter is no longer supported.

Incoming transfer requests are processed using the current Transaction Program code which can process transfer requests appropriately without regard for the version being requested.

Japanese Character Set Parameters Obsolete

The Japanese Character Set parameters JPNCNTL, JPNDATA, JPNDBL and JPNSHFT, that were used for transfers to the CA XCOM Data Transport for PC-DOS and CA XCOM Data Transport for OS/2 products, have been deprecated. As a result, any value that is specified for any of these parameters in the SYSIN01 file is ignored.

Messages are issued indicating that the parameters are no longer supported.

The Japanese Character Set Support Screen has been removed from the CA XCOM Data Transport ISPF Interface.

Japanese Panels have been removed
