I am posting this as a heads up for longtime sysprogs so that they do not have to go through what I going through today.
I did my due diligence and reading. Somehow I either missed or it was not readily apparent the RMF has gone through a licensing and marketing product realignment surgery. The old product RMF has been split into RMF Reporting and z/OS Advanced Data Gatherer. To achieve the functions that we are paying for with RMF, we now get to buy the 'entitled' ADG. Otherwise ADG is another cost feature. Sort of like a Car dealer who says: "You have made a great purchase there. Now, would you like buy the engine that runs it?" Marketing and Licensing at IBM do not seem in touch with the customer who has to actually USE the product. =-=-=-= My recovery plan is to just order the new FMID as a CBPDO. Feel free to learn from my failings and save extra installs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
