Hi:

I have said this before. At a IBM class (here in Chicago) The instructor told us (SERVPAC CLASS) that the goal of IBM was to eliminate the systems programmer.

Now hows does that make everyone on the list feel?

But the reason to go to z/OSMF is not because people want cheap labor, but because it's simply better (at least in 2.1).

John McKown is talking about his problem of his company wanting cheap and ultra cheap labor. Each to its own.


If I were a sysprog again, I would definitely prefer z/OSMF to do my standard tasks. I could get my work done more quickly, and with a better audit trail of who did what. The history function of z/ OSMF is one of its strengths.

Where is that audit trail (besides history function) being kept? Just curious.


Just because the tool is easier doesn't mean that you don't need experts. You still need to understand service classes, performance indicators, and much more.

Agreed. And experience too.

I personally think that z/OSMF reduces the manual effort to let you concentrate on more important matters.

If you say so. Thanks.
