Summary
As stated in the announcement letter of IMS Fast Path Solution Pack for z/OS 2.1, IBM is stabilizing the Fast Path Basic Tools:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/announcements/ims-fast-path-solution-pack-zos-v21-5698-fpp-5655-w15-ss
Some of these tools do not support IMS Managed ACB's and discontinuance of support for these tools may be announced at a future date. Early migration from Fast Path Basic Tools (FPB) to Fast Path Advance Tool (FPA) is strongly recommended.
This guide provides more details about which tools are impacted and provides instructions and considerations to help you migrate from FPB to FPA smoothly.
