Db2 12 now supports encryption of Db2 data with z/OS DFSMS data set encryption, and function level 506 introduces new policy controls for managing of key labels. For more information go to URL: DB2 Administration Tool(DM) and DB2 V12 with V12R1M506

The option to use Secure SSL/TLS for TN3270 has been provided with this ADCD release. We know the newer versions of PCOMM, after V6.0, will not require any special action to use SSl/TLS and most third party emulators will work as well. We believe the most current version of PCOMM is V13 and it will only run on Windows 10 and above. If you still have the Windows 10 box you should try it out. If you are using a third party TN3270 emulator then you should check with owner of the third party TN3270 emulator for assistance with implementing SSl/TLS.

USER.** libaries changed to use the ADCD release level &SYSVER, USER.Z25D, to provide uniqueness based on ADCD release level.
