We've implemented a new solution within Atos that provides clear and immediate visibility into the maintenance and RSU levels of our z/OS systems. By updating the CVTVERID field, we can now quickly identify the exact maintenance level for each release. This simple change will save time, reduce potential errors, and help our teams ensure all systems are up-to-date and compliant. It's all about making maintenance management more efficient.
This new capability allows us to:
-
Quickly identify the RSU level on any z/OS 2.5 or 3.1 system.
-
See the maintenance level at a glance using the new z/OS 3.1 SDSF Dashboard.
-
Find the information easily in the IEA008I message during IPL.
This change is being deployed in the upcoming z/OS 2.5 & 3.1 RSU2506 ZOSPACs. It's a simple, reliable way to gain clarity and control over your maintenance environment.
