Not sure what is being planned but is this an all or nothing proposal? Meaning you either have to use it for installation or the order doesn't get installed? I don't know if others here may agree with me, but I, and some others in my shop, would prefer to use our existing local installation process. However, I would not impede an alternative from being developed, if my future replacement may find it a better alternative and want to use it.
We, like others, use z/OSMF purely because of the Communication Server requirement. In our shop, fortunate or no, one person is also not responsible for installing key components (i.e. z/OS is by itself. CICS/DB2/MQ and various vendor and IBM supplemental products are installed by several other individuals and their migration may happen after the z/OS install is complete.) Has this post installation separation of components also been taken into consideration/discussed with the z/OSMF process? Might DB2/CICS/etc. have their own predefined workflows or would the CBPDO or like process still be applicable in that situation?
