    CA Technologies is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. In accordance with our CA Support Policy and Terms (https://support.broadcom.com/), please consider this letter your written notification that we are discontinuing support for the CA OPS/MVS HMC interface starting with the CA OPS/MVS 14.0 release.  This will allow our Development organization to more effectively focus its resources on and add value to the next release of CA OPS/MVS.

    The CA OPS/MVS 13.5 release will be the last release to support the legacy HMC interface which allows sites to communicate with the IBM HMC to programmatically manage IBM System z hardware.  This functionality is being replaced by the newer CA OPS/MVS 13.5 BCPii Integration feature.  All legacy HMC interface elements will therefore be removed from CA OPS/MVS 14.0 code and documentation.

    At this time, we encourage you to plan for the migration to the CA OPS/MVS 13.5 BCPii Integration feature so you can take full advantage of the modern capabilities this feature has to offer. For additional information, please visit the CA OPS/MVS pages at CA Support Online (https://support.broadcom.com/).

    If you have any questions regarding the support schedule, please contact OPS/MVS CA Support at CA Support Online (https://support.broadcom.com//), your local CA Account Manager, Customer Success Manager or CA Customer Care online where you can submit an online request using the Customer Care web form (https://community.broadcom.com/home).  You can also call CA Customer Care at +1-800-225-5224 in North America or see https://www.broadcom.com/support/services-support/ca-support/contact-support#caphone for the local number in your country.

    Your success is very important to us, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with you.
