z/OS & Product Compatibility

z/OS & System z Compatibility

IBM typically delivers z/OS with annual releases every September. Compuware supports z/OS and its customers who are deploying System z technology throughout their enterprises.

Compuware adheres to the following practices for ensuring quality as service becomes available for IBM products:

  • IBM service is applied monthly to maintenance affecting compilers
  • HIPERs, Security/Integrity/Pervasive PTFs and their associated requisites and supersedes are applied when Compuware becomes aware of service severely impacting its products
  • Twice per year, extensive regression testing is performed against a current IBM RSU level for its latest Z/OS release and Compuware’s most current GA releases

Support for IBM Specialty Processors - zIIP & zAAP
