To obtain the latest SMP/E version and Container image of IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Go, you can either order it via Shopz or contact your existing IBM representative to place the Shopz order for you. The Go compiler is also available as a container image in conjunction with the IBM z/OS Container Platform (5655-MC3). Follow the instructions in the 'Entitlement Memo' included within the Bill of Material for Go 1.22 (5655-GOZ).
Optionally paid IBM Subscription & Support (S&S) entitles you to world-class support for IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Go. With S&S, you are able to open service requests for IBM, which are prioritized based on severity and addressed in documented turnaround times; learn more. You can add paid S&S to an already-obtained SMP/E version of IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Go by contacting your IBM representative, or you can get it when ordering the SMP/E version of the product initially.
Shopz allows you to obtain the no-charge SMP/E version with the option of adding Subscription & Support. When you register for Shopz, you enter the customer numbers that you use to manage software. All existing IBM customers have at least one customer number. Multiple customer numbers are frequently used to manage software on different systems. If you don't have a customer number, contact your existing IBM representative or get connected with a representative here.
