Endevor R17.0 compatibility with z/OS

[Jean-Christophe GUILLEMIN]

Bonjour
Does anyone know if Enedvor R17.0 (which is no longer supported) is compatible or not with z/OS 2.5? The available documentaion on-line concerning ENDEVOR is only for the supported versions (R18.0 and R18.1). 
The answer of this question will help me organizing my job of upgrading ENDEVOR.
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Jean-Christophe

hmmmm,  before going to z/OS 2.5, I would recommend going to Endevor version 18.1, or better yet, go to Endevor version 19 this summer.

Hi Jean-Christophe,

R18.0 and R18.1 require a PTFs to be applied.  As R17.0 is out of support, we haven't tested it, nor have we created the PTFs that were necessary for 18.0 / 18.1.  As such, I would guess that R17 would not run properly on z/OS 2.5.

Hope that helps.

Vaughn we are currently are preparing to implement 18.1 which is running in our Test environment under z/os 2.5
To our production system which is z/os 2.4. what PTF’s are you preferring to in your statement below?

Thanks Vaughn, we reviewed our Test system with z/os 2.5 and discovered the following..

LU01962 shows as being superseded by LU02360
which have already have applied for Endevor R18.1 so we are good.
