Yes, if they want the upgrade workflow. No, at this time the ServerPac is still doable outside of z/OSMF.
z/OSMF is definitely the future. They've procrastinated long enough! 😊 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Bruce Lightsey Sent: Friday, January 15, 2021 10:01 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: clarification please - is z/OSMF required for migrating z/OS from v2.3 to v2.4 ? I am not one of the system programmers but have been tasked with getting this answer for them (and to manage them). My systems guys like SMPe and ServerPacks, etc but z/OSMF is “Alienware” to them – must I tell them to get over it and go with the workflow ?
