Hi Max, According to the Announcement Letter for z/OS R6, ENUS204-180:
Support for JES2 compatibility mode will be withdrawn. As of z/OS V1.7, JES2 will no longer support compatibility with pre-z/OS V1.2 systems. The $ACTIVATE command, which converts the JES2 checkpoint from z2 mode to R4 mode (compatibility mode), will be removed. It further states: Before installing z/OS V1.7, you will need to do one of the following: - Use the $ACTIVATE command to convert the JES2 checkpoint to z2 mode - Offload the SPOOL, cold start JES2 z/OS V1.7, and reload the jobs on the new SPOOL Therefore, you are not REQUIRED to convert to z2 mode to support a z/OS R6 JES2 system.
