I can't answer about the process, but one area to keep an eye on is the definition of Key 8 storage, which IBM have been parameter controlling since 1.8. You will want to consider the option ALLOWUSERKEYCSA in your YS1.PARMLIB(DIAGxx), whichdefaults to NO. This might cause some problems for certain applications that used the shared feature of Key8 before.
