Hi, I have a question on java versioning and maintenance levels on z/OS. I have 2 different copies of Java 1.6.0 and am trying to decipher which is the more current. I've been under the assumption that the SRmFPn gave the maintenance level, and that the higher the numbers, the more current the fix pack. However I have the following 2 levels of Java and don't know which is newer:
# ./java -version java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pmz3160_26sr5fp2-20130423_01(SR5 FP2)) IBM J9 VM (build 2.6, JRE 1.6.0 z/OS s390-31 20130419_145740 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) # ./java -version java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pmz3160sr13fp2-20130424_01(SR13 FP2)) IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 z/OS s390-31 jvmmz3160sr13fp2-20130423_146146 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) Based on the SR5 FP2 on the first one versus the SR13 FP2 on the second one, I would take the second one as being newer maintenance level, but the first says it is build 2.6 and the second is 2.4. Can somebody explain the differences please? If explaining the differences consists of pointing me to a manual that does the explanation that would be fine as well, but I couldn't find anything.
