I'm just grabbing this from the CICS e-Newsletter I
mentioned a couple of posts ago :
"IBM has announced the withdrawal of support for CICS Transaction Server V2.3, effective September 2009 - see details in the announcement letter here. (...)
When planning version-to-version migrations, don’t forget that CICS Interdependency Analyzer V2.2 now contains new queries to help to identify those applications most sensitive to change, helping target testing where it is most needed".
I guess the people involved already know they are going EOS with CICS TS V2.3, but I'm not sure every one knows this CICS Interdependency Analyzer. I, for one, did not. So I gathered some material about it :
- The announcement of this IPLA software (no, it's not for free) : 'IBM CICS Interdependency Analyzer for z/OS V2.2 makes it easier than ever to understand, reuse, and manage your critical CICS Transaction Server applications (ZP07-0450)' : "In particular, CICS IA V2.2 facilitates projects like CICS version-to-version migration, affinity removal, and Web service refactoring that depend for their success on deep knowledge of application, system, and resource relationships".
- General CICS IA for z/OS page
- There are lots of reports, redbooks, brochures etc. on the Library Page.
But there's more : the CICS Interdependency Analyzer is one of the IBM CICS Tools for which you can
download a free 60-day trial version. If you're not interested in this one, you might want to check out the other IBM CICS Tools at the same page.
