(ID 312160) Technical bulletin: September 2023 enhancements to version 21.01.00 of the BMC Compuware File-AID products are available

Products

BMC Compuware File-AID/RDX 

BMC Compuware File-AID for IMS

Version

21.01.00

Date

2023/09/11 00:00 

Starting with the upcoming version 23.01, BMC AMI DevX Data Studio will support Eclipse Project 4.23 and JDK 11.

Note that the earlier versions of Eclipse Project and JDK will no longer be supported.

To obtain version 23.01, you will need to perform a fresh installation rather than upgrade from an earlier version.

After installing version 23.01 of BMC AMI DevX Data Studio, version 23.01 of the FARE will require SDK 11; SDK 8 will no longer work. When upgrading to IBM Semeru 11 SDK , the File-AID FADPxxxx PARMLIB member for parameters JAVA_VIRTUAL_MACHINE_PATH and FILEAID_RULES_ENGINE_PATH (if changed) may need to be updated.

Upgrading to SDK 11 effectively resolves numerous security vulnerabilities.

If you are not upgrading to JDK 11 immediately, you can continue to use version 20.15 of the FARE and JDK 8 on z/OS UNIX.
