Kurt,
You may not believe, but I did watch your series on movies regarding
serverpac.
I appreciate it!
BTW: it was *the only* source where I found what I should put in the
"path" field. Really. I was not sure whether I should provie GIMPAF.XML
with whole path or rather path to the directory.
Last, but not least: I did *NOT* find the third option, which is start
from files uploaded to ZFS.
The only two options described are:
- download directly from IBM site to z/OS
- download from IBM site to a workstation and import it from the
workstation directly
The first option is unavailable to me because of firewall and security
rules. IMHO typical.
The second is not good idea because of poor link between the workstation
and z/OS image.
IMHO much easier is to upload whole ServerPac to ZFS - it can take even
many hours, but it is not interactive.
Regarding to my question:
I have found a series of videos with Kurt as a main role. I really
appreciate it and I'm going to watch it, until last action.
However I asked about z/OSMF usage and administration. I admit, I did
not touch it for years. However now it is the time to learn it.
Example: I enabled "Software Management" service using GUI.
It did not work.
My co-worker instructed me to modify PARMLIB member.
So - what did I enabled using GUI???
I guess I made something wrong. But don't know what.
BTW: Did you know that opening z/OS PSWI takes *a lot of time*? I
didn't. So I did not know whether something hung up or it is "in
progress". :-(
Fortunately I had a problem with security, so after I fixed it (it was
lack of FSP authorities) I noticed that waaaaaiting is good.
And finally it failed because of lack of proper authorities in ZMFAPLA
class. The profile name is loooooong and I don't know any manual where
it is described. However I fixed it too.
Oh RTFM - I did it. I have to admit it is NOT the best piece of
documentation I know. :-(
My goal is not to criticize z/OSMF, I want to start using it in
professional way.
Regards

What I'm looking for is some z/OSMF course (self-learning and free would be
nice). I mean concepts, naming, customization, etc. Basics.
How about a tutorial video series?
https://www.ibm.com/support/z-content-solutions/serverpac-install-zosmf/
Go to the "Try it" tab and click the link for "Watch the tutorial series".
Or watch this recorded z/OSMF Guild session for a presentation on installing
z/OS 2.5 using z/OSMF.

The presentation slides are also available.
