Cross-post with IBM Z Community: z/OS 3.1 functional dependency move from Semeru 11 to Semeru 17

    Modified on May 28, 2024 to reflect the newly announced End of Service date for Semeru 11 of November 30, 2025.  

    Hello z/OSMF Community,

    (Please pardon the cross-post with the IBM Z Community, but I thought that this location would get more z/OSMF viewers, as z/OS 3.1 z/OSMF is affected!)

    I just published a blog which should be of interest to those that maintain (or will be maintaining) z/OS 3.1 systems.   Note that today (April 1, 2024) through November 30, 2025 is an important timeframe as you must move your z/OS 3.1 functions from having a dependency on IBM Semeru 11 to IBM Semeru 17.  Details on this activity and background are provided in that blog post, along with the link to the official publication which was refreshed to document this change.  (Note:  z/OS V2.4 and V2.5 functional dependency on  Java 8 is not affected.)

    ...and an update!

    📢 Take notice! We've just announced, that we've extended the End of Service date for Semeru 11 another year. (Moving from November 30, 2024 to November 30, 2025). Why does this matter? Instead of allowing z/OS 3.1 users 8 months to move from Semeru 11 to Semeru 17 for z/OS functions, this extends the date to 20 months (12 months more!).

    I've updated my blog with this new date: https://www.marnasmusings.com/2024/04/no-time-for-fooling.html

    Here's the official announcement from Semeru 11: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/announcements/revised-discontinuance-support-semeru-runtime-certified-edition-zos-11
