-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Timothy Sipples Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 6:24 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Extended Support Available for z/OS 1.7 / Order z/OS 1.9 Now There's an announcement that extended support will be available (for a charge) for z/OS 1.7 if you're a little behind in your upgrade to z/OS 1.8 or (preferably now) 1.9. Details here: http://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/3/897/ENUS208-283/ENUS208-283.PDF I do not recommend putting yourself in a position to require extended support, but it's available if you need it. Also, if you are still on z/OS 1.7 (or prior), please order z/OS 1.9 now so you will have it available for your upgrade. Soon after z/OS 1.10 is released next month, z/OS 1.9 will no longer be orderable. As a general rule, at least in countries with ShopzSeries and electronic delivery, if you are already licensed for z/OS V1 you can order z/OS 1.9 at no additional charge. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
