CICSVR 5.1 compatibility with CICS TS 5.3

Question & Answer

Question

Is CICS VSAM Recovery for z/OS (CICS VR) Version 5 Release 1 compatible with CICS Transaction Server Server for z/OS (CICS TS) Version 5 Release 3? Are there any migration considerations?

Answer

There are no known compatibility or migration problems with CICS VSAM Recovery for z/OS (CICS VR) V5.1 and CICS TS V5.3. CICSVR V5.1 supports all supported CICS TS releases as described in the CICS VR V5.1 documentation in topic Operating environment:

CICS Requirements: The following APARs for the listed releases of CICS are required to run CICS VR V5R1 VSAM batch logging:

 CICS Release                     APARs
 CICS TS V3.1                     PK23984
 CICS TS V3.2 and higher          None

CICS TS compatibility: CICS VSAM Recovery V5R1 supports all releases of CICS TS that are currently supported by IBM, to a minimum of CICS TS V3.1. If extended ESDS support is to be used, a minimum of CICS TS V3.2 is required. CICS VR V5R1 can recover VSAM spheres from log records produced by either CICS TS forward recovery logging or CICS TS autojournaling. However, it is recommended to use log records produced by CICS TS forward recovery logging with CICS VR.

Additional requirements: None
