IMHO opinion this is a PTF packaging issue. You shouldn't need a full Mod 54 dedicated to SMPWRK6 just to perform normal (proactive) RSU maintenance upgrades. IBM, please take heed and provide smaller digestable packages for us.
To the comments that DASD is cheap - I don't disagree but I work on multiple systems with multiple levels of access. I am not always the storage mgmt guy - some systems are "rich" in disk space some could be constrained. My whole point is this is a waste of time and as systems folks we have better things to do than have to run an Accept 15 times to get it to process properly - My recommendation - during IBM's internal test out procedures on RSU's IBM should ensure that the RSU's can be applied and accepted with a maximum size of SMPWRK6 not exceeding a 3390-27 IMHO. Still waiting to see if IBM ZOS folks will chime in on this... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
