Changes for CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 2 Release 3

There has been a change in CICSPlex SM field naming conventions in this release. Data set name fields such as DSNAME, file name fields such as LOCFILE and REMFILE, and transient data queue name fields such as EXTRATDQ and INTRATDQ are now case-sensitive. When entering data set and file names into the CICSPlex SM interfaces (end user interface, API and the web user interface), ensure that you enter the data in the correct case. In previous releases of CICSPlex SM, the data set names and file names are automatically converted to upper case.

CICSPlex® SM support for the CICS® for Windows component of IBM TXSeries (also known as Windows NT 4.3 and Windows NT 5.0) is no longer provided in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3 Release 1. Therefore, it is not now possible to set up a CICSPlex SM remote MAS agent for Windows.

However, you can continue to use the CICS Transaction Server Version 2.3 or Version 2.2 for CICSPlex SM support of TXSeries.

There are no other significant changes for this edition.
