I think we all understand, I was actually updating my software instance from a 2.2 instance to my current 2.3 instance. Documentation is still very lacking and in my PMR that I still have open since AUGUST I've stated that fact, this is very disappointing, IBM doc, especially an installation guide and user guide for all things MVS (ZOS) were easy to follow, now defining and configuring a REQUIRED product to send email notifications, defined TCP IP policy agents, and define/deploy z/OS software is deplorable. setting up the software 'INSTANCE' I define the software and where the z/osmf server is running, and my zos global zone, from there, it appears to read the zone(s) and build a configuration, ok, so what happens when I need service? do I have to use z/OSMF to order service, fixes? it's sure looking that way. Guess it's back to decrypting the z/OSMF user guide :(

What? IBM never said z/OSMF is intended to replace SMP/E. Yes, over time we plan to replace the existing ServerPac installation with a z/OSMF based install, but z/OS software will continue to be serviced using PTFs and therefore using SMP/E. Kurt Quackenbush -- IBM, SMP/E Development Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
