We tried to order a z/OS V1R11 z/OS ServerPac and have some Tivoli products. Seems it was rejected because we do not have license for Tivoli Management Services on zOS, 5698-A79.
Seems Tivoli has been causing us all grief because installation of products would cause FMIDs of other Tivoli products to be deleted and upgraded (before the other product could support it). A few weeks ago Tivoli came out with 5698-A79, as it was explained by the ShopZ folks to take all the common code out of all the Tivoli products and create, yes, Tivoli Mgmt Services, 5698- A79. Along with this change I am ShopZ can get you a Tivoli only ServerPac; COOL. So if you have ANY Tivoli products, go prod your IBM person to get you licensed for 5698-A79 (nocharge). In the meantime our issue brought to light a problem with IBM Tivoli Tape Optimzer. It has a PRE-REQ of DFSMS or "z/OS" in a Tivoli only ServerPac, they would have to give us z/OS TOO. Kinda defeats the idea of a Tivoli only ServerPac. Maybe there are other products which Tivoli will stumble over. In the meantime go get your NoCharge License added before you are told you do not have it. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
