Migrate from version 16.0 to version 17.0
These notes are for a migration from a base version 16.0 to version 17.0. It includes changes that are already documented as part of version 16.0 maintenance. The changes that are part of the maintenance stream, and thus possibly already implemented, are marked with the release where they were introduced.

Configurable files
Table 1 shows an overview of z/OS Explorer Extensions files that are customized in version 16.0. The z/OS Explorer Extensions sample libraries, FEL.SFELSAMP and /usr/lpp/IBM/zee/samples/, contain more customizable members than listed here, such as sample CARMA source code and jobs to compile them.
Note: Sample job FELSETUP copies all listed members to different data sets and directories, default FEL.#CUST.* and /etc/zexpl/*.
