Latest File Manager for z/OS Service Information

Question & Answer


Question

What is the latest PTF level for File Manager and how do I determine my current File Manager PTF service level?

Answer

To determine my current File Manager PTF service level, click here

Click here for the latest File Manager documentation


NOTE: Make sure you review the Preventive Service Planning (PSP)information here and specify FILEMANAGER as the Upgrade Name for the PSP bucket  and a Subset name.

For example using search argument : FILEMANAGER HADLF10  will display the File Manager PSP entries for Upgrade  FILEMANAGER and Subset HADLF10

The PSP bucket provides the following information:

  • Installation information
  • Documentation changes
  • General information
  • Service recommendations
  • Cross product dependencies

 

For File Manager V15.1 these are the Subsets:
