Hello
We are updating our HMC/SE driver level. Our CE says the update takes 2

I am trying to understand what are the factors which delays or takes time

Jake are you updating one or more HMCs as well as the SEs? I would say if you
are updating the Driver level on the SEs then you need to update the HMCs that

to the SEs can take some time. The dynamic process takes

I haven't looked, but IIRC error code 79 indicates some sort of "file not

Your IBM SE would be a better person to ask for the details.
I think of the Driver MCL as a "level set".
I suspect, each low level routine is updated and verified, which accounts for

Jake, this may be a bad analogy but think of a driver upgrade like a z/OS

Hi Peter,
You will need to do a Workflow to set up Configuration Assistant, then it will
show up under Configurations Tab.
While logged into z/OSMF:
click on Workflows
click on Actions (down arrow) and select Create Workflow -> opens a window to
enter values:
/usr/lpp/zosmf/workflow/izu.config.
I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like this. I just enabled the plug-in in
PARMLIB. But that all came along with z/OS V2.3. Are you on older release,
and hence an older release of ZOSMF?

Tracking changes (with a suitable tool) might be feasible. What you'll miss,
however, is changes to product defaults. No one specifies every possible value.
Sometimes the vendor changes a default or more often adds a new
parameter/default that will not show up in a simple comparison with your

It was a typo. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. If you had used FORMAT
