I read many posts where people believe IBM is a single company structure
where each department closely interacts with all others. Nice dream. The
z/OS testers do not install every other IBM non-z/OS product and try them,
that I know of. They might test major components (CICS, DB2, IMS), and then
only supported releases. So those other products need to test on z/OS and
declare what they work with. Go research ACF/NCP 7.6 and confirm it is still
supported and then look to see if it works on z/OS 1.9. If ACF/NCP 7.6 is not
supported, then it is a moot point whether it works on z/OS 1.9 or not.
Upgrade or continue to take you chances.
The dream is still nice, that IBM could set a direction and all departments
follow along. Mine would be that all compilers insert the compile time options
into the object deck as COBOL does. But, they report to different managers
and have no corporate focus.
A web page as you suggest would be very helpful. And then if that was
extended to include non-IBM products (I realize inter-company data sharing is
a problem) it would be a great page when doing an upgrade. And then not just
for z/OS, I am doing a CICS TS 3.2 upgrade and need to know which products
need to be upgraded. You almost need a database so anyone can select any
product and get the requirements and impacts.

is there an ibm site which i can consult which will tell me the minimum
level of any IBM non-z/os product/component which will run w/ z/os
1.9?
Appendix B of _planning_for_installation_version_1_release_9_ is
organized in the opposite direction for what i need, e.g.,
GIVEN that i've got acf/ncp 3745-170/31641 at v7r6, WILL that run ok w/
1.9 ?
thanks in advance
