Hi Bob, Yes, the z/OS V2.5 Upgrade Workflow is available in PTF(s) on z/OS V2.3 and V2.4, and in V2.5, and can be found in /usr/lpp/bcp/upgrade/. It is no longer in github. The latest level of the Workflow is found in APAR OA61406 - which is the level that contains all the links to the GA z/OS V2.5 books. It also contains some comments that our early customers had, which we wanted to include in that refresh. PTFs will close any day now!
All the PTFs associated with the z/OS V2.5 Upgrade Workflow will be identified with the FIXCAT IBM.Coexistence.z/OS.V2R5, so you can easily install them along with any applicable release coexistence necessary. If you've already installed coexistence PTFs, chances are you have the initial release of the Workflow (APAR OA60711) which was available right at the z/OS V2.5 Preview announce. The initial release only could use the z/OS V2.4 book links, since the V2.5 books were not yet available. This z/OS Upgrade Workflow is intended to be used before you do the z/OS V2.5 installation. With that in mind, it is not included in the z/OS V2.5 ServerPac-supplied workflows (unless you count included in the V2.5 root zFS, which is a little too late to start looking at upgrade actions). Remember, as we refresh the Upgrade Workflow with new or changed information in PTFs, you do not need to restart the Workflow from scratch and lose your progress. Use the "Create new based on existing" option z/OSMF Workflows. That will take your partially (or fully) completed Workflow from before, and create a new "merged" Workflow for you. Your steps you have completed and which were not changed, will remain completed. -Marna WALLE z/OS System Installation and Upgrade IBM Poughkeepsie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
