IBM has made installation simple via ShopzSeries. I put in my order. I eventually get an email saying it is ready. I log on to get the download information that I need and run a single SMP/E job which downloads and sets it up (RECEIVE), ready to customize and install. CA is similar, but we haven't gone to using MSM yet (don't know why). But the other 2 sysprogs here tend to prefer to get XMIT type files, perhaps packaged in a "zip" file. One simply prefers XMIT format, but will work with the CA stuff, which is downloaded to a UNIX subdirectory when he is forced to (compressed PAX format). The second really despises anything other than "simple XMIT". But, then, he really dislikes z/OS UNIX.
