XRF and Communication Controller for Linux on System z (CCL) migration considerations

IBM® is withdrawing from support the Communication Controller for Linux® on System z® (CCL). The announced date for withdrawal is March 31, 2016.

If your installation uses CCL for IMS XRF tracking of VTAM® terminals, consider replacing XRF entirely by setting up an IMSplex with two or more IMS systems and using VTAM Generic Resources (VGR). This option requires a Parallel Sysplex® environment.
