We're getting ready to move to z/OS 1.11 has anyone else experienced what Mary Anne has?
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Mary Anne Matyaz Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 12:31 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: z/OS 1.11 I know this post is probably going to be met with a lot of angst, but I've debated it a good bit and decided I need to warn people. z/OS 1.11 has been the toughest migration we have done in like 9-10 years. Please note, the above is my OPINION. Our troubles have not had anything to do with preparation, the migration guide, etc. Our troubles are all being addressed by IBM and OEM fixes. If you are planning to go to z/os 1.11, please stay on top of the hipers. I've tried to get a list of open apars, but to no avail. Right now I have 5 open apars myself! That's never happened to me in 25 years of systems programming. And we're not beta, or even really, bleeding edge. The worst open apar I have now is OA32271, followed by OA32286. We can't run Hiperdispatch in z/os 1.11, as we still have a hang issue that occurs when we turn it on, no apar yet. Does anyone know the appropriate search term in IBMLink to get open apars? Again, I hesitated with this because all shops are different and YMMV, but I think this list is all about helping each other out, and that is my intent. Thanks!
