Migration Guidelines
The following guidelines will make it easier for you to replace this level of system software with new levels built the same way.
Only IBM-supplied system software should reside on B4xxxx volumes except for B4SYS1. B4CFG1 contains RACF, IPL, and catalog datasets that are user dependent.
The ADCD does not contain a generalized migration utility or process. Each user has unique requirements. It is recommended that you build a migration plan based on your unique needs. The ADCD does have some assistance. The ADCD uses a system of concatenated libraries (see below) The highest level of concatenation is USER.Z24B.xxxxxx The ADCD distributes these libraries empty. It is recommended that the user place changes or overrides in these libraries. It is further recommended that the USER.Z24B.xxxxxx libraries be backed up regularily. When a new ADCD release is installed the USER.Z24B.xxxxxx libraries can be copied from backups to the new USER.Z24B.xxxxxx libraries to provide assistance in migration of programs and parameters.
The ADCD is distributed with a standard library concatenation for the following:
LINKLST
PROCLIB (including TSO procedures)
CLIST
ISPPLIB (TSO panels)
LPALIB
PARMLIB
VTAMLST
VTAMLIB
VTAM source
The configured order of concatenation is user, ADCD developers, and z/OS system datasets. For example, the LINKLST concatenation would be as follows:
USER.Z24B.LINKLIB
ADCD.Z24B.LINKLIB
SYS1.LINKLIB
USER.Z24B.xxxxxx libraries have all been built on B4CFG1 which is the only volume that should contain user data.
USER.Z24B.xxxxxx will not be changed by ADCD or System processes; thus, user updates in USER.Z24B.xxxxxx will be retained between release levels. ADCD.Z24B.xxxxxx libraries are allocated on B4SYS1 and are the libraries that are used by ADCD developers. No RACF rules exist on these libraries; however, changes to these libraries could destroy customization necessary to bring up many products. SYS1.xxxxxxx libraries should NEVER be updated by users or ADCD development. System libraries should ONLY be updated through SMP/E install, maintenance processes, or like processes.
NOTE: Changes to System libraries or ADCD pre-customization may corrupt your system and prevent or delay IBM support activites.
The correct procedure for a user update to system data is to:
Copy the system data from SYS1.xxxxx or ADCD.xxxx to USER.Z24B.xxxxxx
Edit, compile, or run user program against the USER.Z24B.xxxxxx item
Re-ipl, recycle system service, or re-logon to TSO
Removing a user update would be the reverse of the above procedure.

NOTE: JES2 should be COLD started the FIRST time you bring up the system.

Maintenance Service Levels
All the products on the ADCD consist of maintenance that is in a closed status. A PTF that is still in open status or has other than a document hold at the time the ADCD was built would not be added to the ADCD. The following PUT levels may be minus PTFs that were open at build time. Also some functions may be better than the PUT level due to the addition of RSUs and individual PTFs. In general the following is valid.
All functions of the base z/OS V2R4 May Edition of 2020 are at PUT2003 / RSU2003
All functions of the CICS TS 5.5 are at PUT2003 / RSU2003.
All functions of the CICS TS 5.4 are at PUT2003 / RSU2003.
The functions of the DB2 11 base are at PUT2003 / RSU2003.
The functions of the DB2 12 base are at PUT2003 / RSU2003.
All functions of the IMS 14.1.0 are at PUT2003 / RSU2003.
All functions of the IMS 15.1.0 are at PUT2003 / RSU2003.
Tivoli OMEGAMON v5.5.0 is at PUT2003 / RSU2003.
