It all depends on the changes involved. In my situation, I share the SMFPRMxx member across all systems, so I can make a minor change and activate it on my test system to make sure there are no errors. So if a vendor product asked for an SMF exit to be activated, I wouldn't consider it a big deal. It would have to go through change control, of course, but it wouldn't require an IPL.

I have spent so much time in the past 48 hours with so many manuals I have no idea where I got that idea exactly. Sorry. > Yes, via SMFPRMxx update and a SET SMF=xx command. Psychology question, not a technology question: In the opinion of the readers of this list, would most shops consider that a routine thing or would they consider it a potentially disruptive thing? In other words, if a vendor's documentation or support response said "update your SMFPRMxx and issue a SET SMF=xxx" would most shops be likely to say "oh, okay" or would most shops say "in your dreams -- we'll do this at the next scheduled IPL"?
