Hey Chris---
Long story for me.... hired-in the company last year in May as the IDMS DBA supporting v16; in June this year a corporate restructuring occurred and lost the IDMS systems programmer/analyst. The systems analyst was in the process of upgrading to 18.5, but very proprietary in their works. I'm not proficient as an IDMS systems analyst, not sure where to begin on resuming with 18.5 upgrade. Management has been made aware and they have been in conversations with CA/Broadcom about either extended support for v16, or upgrade to release 18.5, possibly 19.0 - and I haven't received any further information/notification as to how those conversations are panning-out.
Now we are looking at upgrading to z/OS 2.3 and want to know if IDMS 16 is compatible. I looked on the CA support site for compatibility, and only 18.5 and 19.0 are listed for z/OS compatibility.
I'm wondering if there are any other IDMS shops out there still on v16 and if they have been able to run with z/OS 2.3 without any issues (or needing to apply any PTFs afterwards)?
