Classification: HCL Internal The packaging of z/OS MF was pretty bad at the beginning. IIRC, IBM fixed it @ z/OS 2.3(?).

Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] I first installed and configured z/osmf @ the 2.2 release due to the need for my I/P support folks to define I/P Policies. IMHO if you do not need to use any of the features of z/osmf at 2.2 I would wait, the configuration is different, user data moved from var/zosmf to global/zosmf, the executables moved also . the hardest for me was all the security wrapped around the functions (plugins) you wanted to use. for me being a CA-TSS shop it took an open ticket 360 days to be resolved. I like Allen have seen some shortfalls but have worked thru these and learned how to configure and use the interface by trail and error. Carmen - AR-BCBS .I am at z/OS 2.2 and have heard that z/OSMF has to be active in order to install z/OS 2.4. Is z/OSMF easier to install/configure than the earlier releases?

For those that haven't tried it yet, please do, so you can have the upgrade information you need and do not have to rely upon the "exported" format entirely. An 8-min YouTube video can give you a great overall lesson on how to maneuver around (https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DejQRSYaxz9M&data=02%7C01%7Callan.staller%40HCL.COM%7Ca91f2c3c42894554996c08d86f9deb36%7C189de737c93a4f5a8b686f4ca9941912%7C0%7C0%7C637382071357128897&sdata=PCg9t5n%2BW6HYsvxt4vAGWhxew01QOhVN4UYhsu1bOk8%3D&reserved=0<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DejQRSYaxz9M&data=02%7C01%7Callan.staller%40HCL.COM%7Ca91f2c3c42894554996c08d86f9deb36%7C189de737c93a4f5a8b686f4ca9941912%7C0%7C0%7C637382071357138897&sdata=lyT6cmKArmolBhPNbYPHMuupzcbXtWI3GXOK2acFa0A%3D&reserved=0>). It's a little old in that we have the Workflows on github now, and not on our website (https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FIBM%2FIBM-Z-zOS%2Ftree%2Fmaster%2FzOS-Workflow%2FzOS&data=02%7C01%7Callan.staller%40HCL.COM%7Ca91f2c3c42894554996c08d86f9deb36%7C189de737c93a4f5a8b686f4ca9941912%7C0%7C0%7C637382071357138897&sdata=KJ4Rtajdf%2Bd%2BP%2FylA%2FE8DahXTQ8qrv59knwg%2FZO1SwU%3D&reserved=0 V2.4 Upgrade Workflow<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FIBM%2FIBM-Z-zOS%2Ftree%2Fmaster%2FzOS-Workflow%2FzOS&data=02%7C01%7Callan.staller%40HCL.COM%7Ca91f2c3c42894554996c08d86f9deb36%7C189de737c93a4f5a8b686f4ca9941912%7C0%7C0%7C637382071357138897&sdata=KJ4Rtajdf%2Bd%2BP%2FylA%2FE8DahXTQ8qrv59knwg%2FZO1SwU%3D&reserved=0 V2.4 Upgrade Workflow>). I did have a great conversation with Allan, and we've been working on trying to get the spacing and layout better. If you haven't noticed yet, you can collapse much of the heading information (with the twisty of "Workflow Details") to give you more space on the first panel. More usability enhancements have been identified. Please feel free to send me more suggestions for improvements, or do the feedback from inside the workflow itself. -Marna WALLE z/OS System Installation IBM Poughkeepsie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
