Too many sysres sets in my current environment to consider it. 6 for one company and 12 for the other (different sysplexes have different sysres sets and zones). That is a lot of extra DASD that I really don't need. We don't accept for 6 months after apply and if there is a PE that shows up after accept and it has been running for that long, odds are that the conditions are very rare and the PE doesn't or won't affect us or there will be a fix anyway. Speaking of that subject... I was just notified of a logger PE today described by OA32737. The PE is against OA30513 which says available 11/18/09. Unfortunately, that PE is accepted in my z/OS 1.11 CSI which came in January at RSU1001 with a date of 10.018. I *thought* that ServerPac was now waiting 6 months (or at least 3 months) after apply before accept. Unless that isn't starting until z/OS 1.12.
