Many moons ago, we ran DB2 v8.1 under z/OS 1.3. It was supported up to point. Some functionality did not kick in until z/OS 1.4. Our z/OS 1.3 environment was short-lived and was migrated to z/OS 1.4 and above.
If the published z/OS compatibility is z/OS 1.10 and higher, believe it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Craig Pace Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 8:14 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: DB2 V10 Compatibility and Older z/OS Levels............ All, This is a cross post to both DB2-L and IBM-MAIN. I have done some quick searches and not found what I have been looking for. If someone knows of any threads that are related, please let me know. I am trying to find out what might be the "absolute" level of z/OS that DB2 V10 might run under. Basically we have been asked to get DB2 V10 in and we know from Program Directory, other manuals, Product Support cross reference, etc. that the published z/OS compatibility is V1.10 or higher. Is there anyone out there who might have tried this at lower levels? More importantly..........as low as z/OS V1.6? Yes we know we are behind and are working on that, but sometimes you must venture down roads that are not the moden way. Before we go an order DB2 V10, or even try to let Management think it will work I must try and see if these is even possible at all or a 100% NOWAY, CAN'T DO IT. Thank you in advance for any light that might be casted on this subject.
