The OS/390 and z/OS XPLINK function can not be used with WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Versions 4.0.1 and 5.0x
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
You can not use the XPLINK function if you are running WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Version 4.0.1 or V5.0x, because these versions of the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS products do not support Java™ SDK V1.4, which is required for the XPLINK function.
 
 
Solution
The following change will be made to the V4.0.1 publication "WebSphere Application Server for z/OS: Installation and Customization," GA22-7834-07, the next time it is updated. To access the latest version of this publication, go to the product library page at:

www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/zos_os390/library/

Chapter 2, section "z/OS or OS/390 software requirements for WebSphere for z/OS" contains the following description of the Java SDK support for the V4.0.1 WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product:
  • IBM Developer Kit for OS/390 Java 2 Technology Edition Version 1.1 is an element of WebSphere for z/OS. It is also available separately. The Java SDK level supported by this product is 1.3.0.
Note: Later releases of the IBM Developer Kit for OS/390 Java 2 Technology Edition are not supported.

A second note will be added to this bullet. The bullet will then state:
  • IBM Developer Kit for OS/390 Java 2 Technology Edition Version 1.1 is an element of WebSphere for z/OS. It is also available separately. The Java SDK level supported by this product is 1.3.0.
Notes:
  1. Later releases of the IBM Developer Kit for OS/390 Java 2 Technology Edition are not supported.
  2. The XPLINK function can not be used with this product because XPLINK requires Java SDK 1.4, which this product does not support.
