This looks interesting. Is it available for prior releases, or just z/OS 3.1?

In theory, I agree with you. In practice, I know of at least one shop with one

of their systems got the benefits IBM predicted. I'm not saying it's common
but it has happened.

You definitely want to go to logstreams. We went to CF logstreams 10 years ago
