Db2 12 for z/OS: Approaching the Finish Line

Db2 12 for z/OS Approaching The Finish Line

Is your organisation ready for the upcoming changes in Db2 z/OS support? As of December 31, 2025, IBM will cease support for Db2 12 for z/OS.

With just over a year until the deadline, Triton Consulting is encouraging all customers who haven’t yet considered their migration from Db2 12 to Db2 13 for z/OS to start planning. The process of migrating to a new version can often take longer than anticipated. Early planning is critical to ensure a smooth transition and minimise operational disruptions.

 

Why early planning matters

Minimise Downtime: Upgrading a critical system like Db2 z/OS can be daunting, especially when business-critical databases need to be available 24/7. Starting the planning process early allows for careful management of the risk of downtime during the migration project.

Ensure Success: Planning and executing a successful version upgrade is essential. Starting early provides the necessary time to thoroughly plan the migration, ensuring that all aspects are considered and well-executed.

Access to Expert Support: Triton Consulting offers migration workshops, project planning, implementation, support, and training for Db2 13. By starting early, businesses can take advantage of these resources, ensure a smoother transition to the new version and reap the benefits of the latest version.
