Operating system support
Model 204 Release V7.5
Release V7.5 is supported on the IBM z/OS, IBM z/VM, and IBM z/VSE operating system environments.
IBM z/OS
The latest z/OS version supported is V2.1.
V1.7 or later is required.
V1.7 is sufficient for all new functionality except for the following features:
- Large (1 MB) page support requires V1.9.
- Extended address volumes (EAV) requires V1.12.
Authorization under APF is required to run Model 204 V750 under any z/OS operating system.
IBM z/VM
The latest z/VM version supported is V6.3.
z/VM V5.4 or later is required.
IBM z/VSE
The latest z/VSE version supported is V5.2.
z/VSE V5.1 or later is required.
Model 204 Release V7R4
Release V7.4 is supported on the following operating system environments:
- IBM z/OS versions 1.09 through 2.1
- IBM z/VM versions 5.3 and 5.4
- IBM z/VSE version 4.2.1
Model 204 Release V7R1
Release V7.1 is supported on the following operating system environments:
- IBM z/OS versions 1.09 through 2.1
- IBM z/VM versions 5.3 and 5.4
IBM z/VSE is not supported.
z/OS 2.1 compatibility issues
In Model 204 versions 7.5 and lower, Horizon TCP applications sending data larger than 16K might get the following error:
M204.1254: User language statement is invalid in this conversation state
This error occurs under z/OS version 2.1 because the TCP Default Send Buffer Size (DefaultSndBufSize) was increased to 65536 (from 16384 in earlier versions).
Solution
- Model 204 v7.5:
Apply zap 75Z226. - Model 204 v7.4:
Currently fixed by zap 74Z4552. Contact Model 204 support. - Model 204 v7.1 (and lower):
Workaround: Set z/OS 2.1 TCP DefaultSndBufSize to 16384.
