Hello, Has anybody worked in a shop where people other than systems programmers use SMP/E to maintain third-party products?
We currently have a discussion going on in our shop about transferring PTF maintenance duties for one third-party product to an administrative group that happens to include one former sysprog with SMP/E experience. Because the others in the group do not have systems backgrounds, I am concerned that this decision could come back to haunt us in the long run, and that it also may open Pandora's box for other third-party products where the administrators are definitely non-technical. However, I do not want to stand in the way of a good idea by overreacting, if my concerns have no basis. If anyone has experienced this situation and could tell me the pros and/or cons from your experience, I would love to hear them. Thanks!
