IBM Lifecycle Extension for z/OS V1.10
The IBM Lifecycle Extension for z/OS V1.10 (5656-A01) provides fee-based corrective service (a fix, bypass, or restriction to a problem) for up to two years beyond the September 30th 2011 withdrawal of service date for z/OS V1.10 (5694-A01).

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.

IBM plans to deliver z/OS platform products on DVD starting September 10, 2010. This expands the delivery options available to include Internet, DVD, 3590, and 3592 tape. Installation from DVD will require network connectivity between your z/OS system and a workstation having a DVD drive.  Product delivery on all 3480 and 3490 tape media is planned to be discontinued October 26, 2010.  For more information see the July 22, 2010 IBM United States Software Announcement letter (210-235).
