    We will be upgrading to zOS 2.4 (from 2.3) this fall and I am wondering if there are any special things I will need to do.

    I remember 2.3 being a hassle because of AllowUserKeyCSA(NO) and some issues with APF authorized libs for which we had to separate some modules into an APF specific load library.

    We had no issues with IDMS when upgrading to z/os 2.4.

    I have survived MANY os upgrades – I cannot remember a time when we HAD to modify IDMS because of an OS upgrade – as far as the ALLOWUSERKEYCSA we had the os team keep the option they had to allow us to adjust AT OUR SCHEDULE

     

    But the BEST solution (in my opinion) is to:

     

    Run a RECEIVE HOLDDATA

    Run a fixcat:

    SET BDY(GLOBAL).            

        REPORT MISSINGFIX       

        FIXCAT(*)               

        ZONES(IDMSTGT) NOPUNCH. 

     

    And note any non-applied fixes related to the z/os release you are moving to ...

    As long as you are running CVs in KEY(4) as described in  Storage Key Considerations doc  (same thing you would have had to do for AllowUserKeyCSA(NO))  you should be OK.
