Glad to hear the model processing did (eventually) work for you. Just to clarify, since you chose to use the existing master catalog (with indirect cataloging), then no temporary catalog alias (SSA) will be created or used. If you had chosen to create a new target system master catalog, then z/OSMF will create and use a temporary catalog alias (SSA), and will automatically prefix that value to the data set names. The point is, you should NOT manually include the alias prefix when defining the target data set names (it sounded like you may have been tempted to do so, hence the need for this clarification). > Incidentally I find it really irritating that I cannot log off or > somehow save my configuration changes before they are complete.

We're working on adding a Save action in the configuration wizard as I type this so you don't loose your progress if you cannot complete the entire wizard in one fell swoop. We hope to deliver that update soon. > I also decided that the reason that there is no detailed > documentation is that, after some initial confusion, the dialogue > is intuitive.
