  • The following table reflects
  • The current release of each CSI product in General Availability (GA).
  • The earliest release of CSI products that work under a specified version of z/VSE. This second point means that all releases of a CSI product, from the previous specified version to the current version, work under the specified version of z/VSE. (13)
  • The lowest (oldest) OS supported by each CSI product.
  • The highest (newest) CICS supported by each CSI product.
  • The current PTF for each CSI product.
  • The column “Highest CICS Supported” reflects the highest CICS release the product is known to work under. This does not mean that the product does not function under higher releases, only that it has not yet been confirmed for them. When products have no relationship to CICS, “N/A” (Not Applicable) is indicated.
  • Where further clarification is required, a note is provided at the bottom of this Web page. These clarifications are reflected in the table by hyperlinked numbers in parentheses, like so: (1)
