I ordered a ServerPac. I can't imagine reasons to do a z/OS CBPDO again. On the other hand, I probably won't do all the steps in the Serverpac. And it is true that getting the dataset distribution how I like it will be one of the biggest efforts.
On the otherhand, I expect I will again order CBPDO for SMP/E and install the z/OS 2.1 level of SMP/E into my z/OS 1.13 system. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On Behalf Of Ed Finnell > Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 2:03 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: CBPDO vs ServerPac > > The other option is SystemPAC or CustomPAC.
