Workspace Sterling Connect:Direct for Z/OS

Request for improvement of the CONNECT DIRECT manual contents so that incompatibility information items are clearly indicated

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Our client plans to upgrade Connect:Direcr for z/OS from V6.1 to V6.4 in 2025 and we need to provide them with information about incompatibilities from V6.4 to V6.1.

We checked the manual of IBM Connect:Direct for z/OS 6.4 Documentaion, but there was no section for incompatibility information, so we had to check all the items in release notes chapter. The purpose of this upgrade is to deal with the end of software support, so even though we had no plans to use the new features and enhancements, we had to check the new features and enhancements items as well, which resulted in the incompatibility investigation taking a considerable amount of time. 

As a request for improvement, we would like you to create a section in this manual that lists only incompatibility information. Alternatively, we would like you to separate ’new features and enhancements' and 'incompatibility information items' so that it is clearly incompatible information.
