Upgrading RTC 3.0.1 to 3.0.1.1 - z/OS components
I have a customer who has JTS and CCM under Websphere on zLinux with a DB2 database under z/OS and of course the bfagent and ISPF client under z/OS. When upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.0.1.1 what is the recommended "order" in regards to the z/OS parts? Can I do JTS and CCM first and the z/OS parts will work against the 3.0.1.1 repository until I upgrade the z/OS parts? Do I need to do then together? I have reviewed the upgrade documents including the frequently asked questions and do not see any mention of the z/OS parts.

Hi
We will put out some upgrade documentation when we push out the PTF's for the 3.0.1.1 upgrade. These should be out shortly. There is n-1 compatibility between the clients and the server... that being that an n-1 client can operate against an n server. The build toolkit can be considered a client. So the order has to be the JTS/CCM server first and then the clients after. I would recommend moving the build toolkit up second and the ISPF/Eclipse clients up next.
Answering your question... yes, the z/OS parts will work against the 3.0.1.1 repository.

Ok - Thanks. Now if the client skips 3.0.1.1 and goes directly from 3.0.1 to 3.0.1.2 what are the implications? Also to get to 3.0.1.2 you are not required to upgrade to 3.0.1.1 first - correct?
