Hi Marna, thanks for your reply.
>Interesting you just happened upon finding the z/OS upgrade material on the >z/OS website :). I think we need to make it easier to find, as perhaps the >System Level portion of the z/OS release bookshelf isn't the best place? I was expecting it where the usual books / pdfs are. As far as I am concerned it should be where the InfoRoadmap, the ReleaseGuide and the UpgradeReferenceSummary are. We don't have z/OSMF up and running yet, so getting it out of the ZFS file system was not an option. I just remembered that you have said that IBM will export the complete workflow und put it somewhere (it was github back then, I think). >The other format is an export that IBM did ourselves, and put on the IBM >Documentation site. I think this is the one that you encountered. It is all >the material that is found in the z/OSMF Upgrade Workflow, just available with >the rest of the z/OS books so you could reference it outside of z/OSMF. Since >it hasn't been tailored to your system, and all the steps are listed, whether >or not they are irrelevant to you, you'll find it rather long and probably not >as helpful as if you would have created your own customized file, or even done >it from with z/OSMF itself. I agree, it's not the best, which is why it isn't >the preferred option. Yes, this is the one I had looked for and found. I have no problem reading all of the actions (that's what I did with the migration book, anyway, and it sometimes lead to interesting discoveries especially in a new installation when I wasn't sure yet what gets used. Often the oldtimers in that installation didn't know either that things were obsolete by now). I did a 'save as' in the browser and saved the html pages to my laptop. I expected the content to be on my laptop, but it wasn't. When I opened the html pages using notepad, there was some small crap in it that was way too small to be the information I had seen online. I actually had to go back and search for the link again, save that to my bookmarks and read online. When I skipped a few chapters, it took forever to load the intended content. It felt like that content had a lot of external links in it that would explain why it was so slow. Had I had the content on my laptop, I would have done some editing and only kept what was relevant to me.
