Can't we wait another four years before getting rid of Serverpac? That's when I plan to retire.
If not, then I'll have to look into early retirement :) -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kurt Quackenbush Sent: Thursday, March 4, 2021 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Serverpac installs January 2022 and beyond [External Email.

Downloading your ServerPac using z/OSMF is mostly the same as downloading your ServerPac today. If you have internet access to your z/OS then you can download from IBM's server directly to your z/OS. If you do NOT have internet access to your z/OS, from Shopz you download the ServerPac files to your workstation, then you use z/OSMF to upload the files from your workstation to z/OS. This last bit, using z/OSMF to upload from your workstation to z/OS, is a definite improvement over the current ServerPac which requires you to upload manually.
