Title: CMOD 8.4 compatible with z/OS 2.2
Post by: jhe2 on March 22, 2017, 02:59:47 PM
We are running CMOD 8.4 and will upgrading from z/OS 2.1 to z/OS 2.2
Is CMOD 8.4 compatible with z/OS 2.2?
Please advise.

I brought up CMOD 8.4 on my z/OS V2.2 system and it appears to run fine but I didn't put any work through it.

So I haven't tested it but no reason it shouldn't work.

I have a z/OS 2.2 thread that you'll want to check.

We are running CMOD 8.4 and will upgrading from DB2 Version 11 Compatibility Mode  to DB2 Version 11 New Function Mode.
Is CMOD 8.4 compatible with this mode?
Please advise.

Hi jhe2...

I just want to caution you that regardless of the information you get here, you should perform your own extensive testing to confirm that the advice you get here is accurate in your environment.

jhe2 - The combination of DB2 V11 NFM and CMOD V8.4.0 has not been tested.

I can't think of any reason why it won't work.

But as Justin says - especially because this is uncharted waters - you really should test this before going into production.

I keep the second list up to date.  There have been no new entries on that list since November of last year because I haven't caught any DB2 issues affecting CMOD since then.
