ServerPac-delivered SMP/E database (for z/OS and other products) usually
has some entries older than product release.
For example AA12143 is replaced (SUPBY) by HKCI310 or HADLA10 and
HADL910 are replaced by HADLD10, etc.
That's good, a prodcut which require for example CICS TS 2.3 is
satisfied by CICS TS 5.1.
However in the database there are no more entries regarding very old
releases, like CICS 4.1 (not TS) or PTF to DB2 v4.1.
The history is somehow cut off.
Now the question: what are the criteria for deleting obsoleted entries?
Is it documented anywhere?
I'm reticent to respond on this topic, but I see nobody else has yet to
jump in. I don't think IBM has any well formed and documented criteria.
I suspect it is pretty much up to the developer to decide how far back
they want old product releases superseded by a new release.
