SYS1.PARMLIB, The Heart of z/OS:
Updates in z/OS 1.13 and 2.1
One of the cornerstones of z/OS is upward compatibility. And the
number one priority when you migrate to a new release is typically to
ensure that everything that worked with the old release still works
with the new release. As a result, the default mode of operation is
that enhancements or new functions tend to be shipped by IBM in a
disabled state. Therefore, to maximize the return on your investment
in z/OS, you generally need to take some overt action.
The objective of this class is to help you get the full value out of
your z/OS system by making you aware of all the Parmlib changes that
were delivered in z/OS 1.13 and z/OS 2.1. For each parameter, this
class describes the reason for the change, the associated function or
capability, what environments it is appropriate for, and recommended
values.
For those of you who have seen our articles on Parmlib enhancements
in our Cheryl Watson's Tuning Letter, we'd like you to know that the
class will get into much more detail about each parameter and
keyword. We will ask you to bring your own Parmlib members and we'll
help you understand and review the settings in your installation.

If you are currently running z/OS 1.12, this class will help you
prepare for your next upgrade. If you are already running z/OS 1.13,
you can use this class as a self-assessment, to ensure that you are
actually exploiting all the capabilities that are available to you.
And if you have already migrated to z/OS 2.1, or are working on a
business case to justify the migration, this class will help you
identify all the functions that are applicable to your environment,
including those that were shipped in z/OS 1.13 that you might have
overlooked.
