Shields up! This old dog wants to learn a new trick. I'm tired of the ISPF-based dialog install after doing ServerPac installs for several decades. Marna's NewEra two-part presentations were outstanding.
She spoke of taking a coworker with no experience with either and getting a running system up in three days! Granted, she mentored the individual, but still! And aren't the migration workflows available as PTFs separate from the Software Instance? I am currently waiting for that PTF to close to get the most updated version of the workflow to review prior to actually ordering and downloading z/OS 2.5.

I opted to go custompac one more time. I do echo Terri's sentiments that there should be a way to mostly seed a new z/OSMF instance whether there is a utility that reads the last saved custompac config or somehow scans your sysres. That will definitely soften the blow for moving over. Us old timers, can whip through the old dialogs in less than a day, and be pretty much ready to IPL. I understand the need to modernize the environment for the next wave. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
