    Subject:  SYSVIEW 17.0 Continuous Delivery Feature PTF General Availability Announcement

    On behalf of Broadcom, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide you with high-quality, innovative software and services.  As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success under the Continuous Delivery model, we are pleased to announce the General Availability (GA) of the following feature PTF:  

    LU08900 - SOFTWARE RISK ASSESSMENT ENHANCEMENTS

    This feature PTF contains several enhancements to Software Risk Assessment (PTF Analysis). Software Risk Assessment is a feature of SYSVIEW and the Mainframe Essentials offering, providing users with critical information about your SMP/E managed mainframe software portfolios. This information helps users to see the risk of available maintenance in real-time to best manage their software portfolios.

    SYSVIEW users can now retrieve all available maintenance information for Broadcom products in real-time, assess risk of products nearing end of service dates, and much more. 

    You can watch a video about the Software Risk Assessment feature on the SYSVIEW channel on YouTube

    Updates included with this PTF are -

    • Real-time retrieval of available maintenance information - SYSVIEW users can retrieve a list of all available maintenance for Broadcom products in real-time. Users can view a list of SYSMODs that are available but have not been received.
    • Product lifecycle information - SYSVIEW users will be able to view and evaluate risk associated with product lifecycle dates, including end of service and end of life dates.
    • Keyrings and certificates information - SYSVIEW users can easily identify and assess risk associated with keyrings and certificates including ones that are expiring.
    • Out of support risk assessment - Users will be able to assess risk associated with PTFs that have not been applied within a specified number of days since the PTF was published. When a PTF has not been applied within the specified number of days, the PTF is considered out of support.
    • Miscellaneous Software Risk Assessment updates - 
      • PTFS command updates: SYSVIEW users can view summarized risk information for the available maintenance in the information area of new Software Risk Assessment section. A few new fields and parameters were added to enable users to view a PTF's overall risk status and other relevant information.
      • PTFLIST command updates: SYSVIEW users can view the product vendor name in a new vendor field and the target zone in a new TZone field.


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