z/OS V1.9 customers — Time to
move ahead!
We
encourage you to move to z/OS V1.11 now. To help with your migration to
z/OS V1.11, please consult the z/OS
V1.11 Migration manuals.
For
a quick summary of migration actions, read the short article in
Hot
Topics magazine Issue 21 (PDF), or review the two Migrating
to z/OS V1.11
education modules in the
IBM Education Assistant.
You
can also listen to a replay of this one hour webcast covering technical
installation requirements, which can help your migration to V1.11.

to two years beyond the September 30th 2010 withdrawal of service date
for z/OS V1.9 (5694-A01). The Lifecycle Extension for z/OS V1.9 enables
z/OS V1.9 users who have not completed their migration to z/OS V1.11
(or z/OS V1.10) to continue to receive corrective service for z/OS V1.9
up through September 30, 2012.
Ordering z/OS and related products
-
ShopzSeries
- You can order products and maintenance for the
z/OS platform
on the Web.
ShopzSeries
provides a self-service planning and ordering capability on the Web.
You can order system/product upgrades for either ServerPac or CBPDO.
ShopzSeries includes the following significant functions:
- Prefilling of the checklist.
ShopzSeries will analyze and prefill the order checklist
when you submit your existing installed inventory to the tool.
- Full automation of processing orders that
do not require license changes.
Orders that include new or changed licenses will be routed to the IBM
Sales Center.
- Access to software inventory reports
through the Customer Analysis Tool.
- Ordering of service-only CBPDOs.
ShopzSeries support for maintenance includes ordering corrective
service
by PTFs or APARs and Recommended Service Upgrade (RSU) preventive
service.
In addition, service orders can be received on traditional media or the
Internet.
For an RSU order, you can upload your SMP/E CSI installed service
inventory,
which is used to customize your order and eliminate duplicate service.
Please be aware, IBM plans to discontinue delivery of software on 3480,
3480 Compressed (3480C), and 3490E tape media.
IBM recommends using Internet delivery when ordering your z/OS products
or service.
If you choose to order physical media, IBM recommends ordering 3590 or
3592
tape media.
This format is more dense and will reduce the number tapes you have to
handle.
This Statement of Direction was announced in the
August 5, 2008, IBM United States Software Announcement letter (208-186).
