The presenter continuously installed a new z/OS® 3.1 driver every month from December 2022 through September 2023 and experimented with its new functions as they became available. He will show you how these new functions operate and provide you with warnings, hints & tips, caveats, etc. based upon his early experiences and post-GA follow-up. This session is updated from what was presented in November 2023 with the latest fixes, updates, and enhancements. The session should be of particular interest to anyone planning to deploy z/OS 3.1 in 2024 or 2025.
