CICS 2.0

Has anyone heard of any issues with this release. I was about to buy a used CICS w/2.0 from someone and they said "of course you going to have to upgrade the software because of the switch resetting issue".

i personally don't recall that having an issue, but I suggest buying the newr version so you can support the newr equipment.

I've never had an issue with the KSU, but once, our sales staff sold a CP to a site in Saginaw with 2.0, and didn't bother selling a software upgrade.

The CP installed fine, but every morning, they had to press f9*1 to reset the feature codes for it until I got new software to them. This may be what they're talking about.

I do remember an early release of CICS having a problem of resetting at times. It was as if the system had been power cycled and all the sets would flash and come back up. The first time I saw the problem was on an install and the new system reset two times before I got out the door. It may have been 2.0. It was not around long.

There was a resetting issue with CICS 2.0. It was corrected in CICS 2.0 MR WI 10.12. Reference ITAS SRN-011 dated February 10, 1999.
