The Broadcom Mainframe Product releases are built and maintained using standardized SMP/E packaging and installation procedures. This package includes error holddata, FIXCAT holddata, and product interoperability validation. PTFs that pass interoperability test criteria are designated as Broadcom Recommended Service (CARS). The products are installable using z/OSMF and SMP/E JCL.
