This is part one of a two-part session that will be of interest to system programmers and their managers who are migrating to z/OS 1.13 from either z/OS 1.11 or z/OS 1.12. It is strongly recommended that you attend both sessions for a complete migration picture.
In part one, the speaker will focus on preparing for your z/OS 1.13 migration. She will discuss the changed content of z/OS 1.13. She will cover ordering and delivery options, and will explain the coexistence, migration, fall back, and service policies. Driving and target system requirements for both software and hardware will be highlighted along with some migrations actions you can perform now on your current z/OS release.
The general availability date for z/OS V1 R13 was September 2011.
