The ShopzSeries issue has been resolved. There was a problem with a server on 
their end.

There was a maintenance window last night for ShopzSeries. It said 7pm to 
midnight MST.

Unless the issue is on my end, it builds the package but when you click on 
"download", the window opens up but does not populate with the necessary JCL to 
perform the RFN.

I've opened a SR and will post the solution when it is known.

As I have stated numerous times. The "new tools" that IBM is replacing the 
traditional "green screen" apps are designed by a bunch of PFCSK's with no 
concept of enterprise operations.

In addition (although improving), the new tools are not as reliable or 
available as their predecessors. Nor do they perform better.


z/OS, the flagship operating system claims "6 nines" of availability (about 31 
seconds/year). 
This amounts to about  9 1/2 years' worth  of z/OS outages.

The support tools should be as available as the systems they are supporting.

IBM should be embarrassed that they cannot provide this availability.
