We are planning to upgrade the CICS 6.1 soon .when i checked with micro focus vendor got the below reponse .

At this point in time there is no ZMF version that is compatible with CICS 6.1.  As you are aware CICS 6.1 was only released in June, so we haven't released a release as yet which has been tested with CICS 6.1, we have a major release panned, ZMF 8.3 in the spring next year (2023), so it will be this release that will hopefully be compatible with CICS 6.1.

However to make sure that this happens you can put in an IDEA on our Community, so that our Product Management can see that you are going to upgrade CICS to 6.1.  See URL to the IDEA section on our ZMF Community page.

Kindly provide me update compatibility version of change man ZMF which supports CICS 6.1

Thanks

Hello Kishor,

Both ChangeMan ZMF 8.2 Patch 6 and 8.2 Patch 7 support CICS 5.4+, including CICS 6.1. We therefore recommend upgrading to ZMF 8.2 Patch 7 prior to upgrading your CICS environment.

Best regards,

Steve
