15. Migrations and Planning
Upgrading from Prior Releases
System needs to be in a 5.6.x conversion ready state
ZMF impact analysis, component master, and package master files must be upgraded to a state that enables you to bring up a ChangeMan ZMF 5.6.x task.
Converting CMAST/PMAST
Copybooks not shipped with product
Extract utilities support access to CMAST/PMAST
Conversion programs to upgrade CMAST/PMAST
Migration and planning slides…what you need to know is migrating to larger then most release upgrades. Several major components have been redesigned and record layouts have changed..so there are new utilities and procedures….

16. Migrations and Planning
Impact Analysis Redesign
Now uses a z/OS dataspace backed up by a VSAM Linear Data Sets (LDS)
Designed to provide more information about component relationships
Version information for every baselined component. Version information includes a hash token for copybooks and Set System Status Index (SETSSI) value and package number for subroutines.
Version information is also maintained for every subordinate component relationship. Improves query lookup
Dynamic update for all
A set of utilities will be provided to reload back into DB2
IA is a big deal and an important one
Advantages of dataspace is a vsam file instorage..instead of VSAM IO..advantages are fast access to very large amounts of data with little or no I/O
Improves query lookup - Tells all copybooks including nested ones.

17. Migrations and Planning
SSV conversion needed
3 VSAM files that need to be converted
Single conversion job for this
Please review migration guide
Please review readme
