7100.0. "IBM OS/390 Rel.2 compatible SNA products?" by ATZIS3::WELSCH_K (Kurt WELSCH - DEC MCS) Thu May 22 1997 13:54

    Hi !
    
    I have a customer that wants to upgrade their IBM OS/390 to the
    following releases:
    
    MVS/ESA 5.2.2
    RMF 5.2.2
    RACF 2.2
    DFSMS 1.3
    TSO/E 2.5
    ISPF 4.3
    ACF/VTAM 4.3
    
    Are these software releases compatible with the following DEC SNA products:
    
    SNA Peerserver V1.3-25 running on Digital UNIX
    
    OpenVMS:
    
    SNADTFS V3.1-09
    SNADTFM V3.1-10
    SNA Domain Gtwy V2.0
    SNA Pre V1.3
    SNA RJE V1.5
    SNA 3270 Term. emul. V1.6
    SNA 3270 Data stream progr. V1.5
    SNA APPC/LU6.2 Progr. Int. V2.3
    
    Do they need other versions/patches or PTFs in addition?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    regards

	This statement doesn't make sense. Going from OS/390 to MVS/ESA 5.2.2
	is a _downgrade_ of software levels, not an upgrade. Going from MVS/ESA
	5.2.2 to OS/390 is an upgrade.

	These versions are compatible with either the MVS list above or OS/390.

	Yes - I would suggest that the customer apply _all_ ECOs and/or
	upgrade to the latest releases ASAP.

7100.2MVS/ESA --> OS/390 - Consolidated versions list?ATZIS3::WELSCH_KKurt WELSCH - DEC MCSThu May 29 1997 09:3812
    Hi Craig!
    
    Thanks for the info, and sorry for the confusion, customer is upgrading
    to OS/390. 
    
    Could you provide me with a pointer to the actual versions
    /ECO levels, as i checked the mentioned products with the latest
    OpenVMS/UNIX CD set, and they looked for me as the actual releases?
    
    regards,
    Kurt
