Some day you'd need to learn a bit about VMSES/E... It is not that hard once you get the basics.
When installing from tape, you are asked if you want to make an override or accept the defaults. With a good response, a panel will be displayed where you can define the minidisk/SFS dir to install the stuff in. No VMSES/E skills required so far.. Remember too that you don't need to install program products in the userid IBM write in the program directory. I never do. You also do not need to log on to these difficult to remember userids. Everything can be done from MAINT for example. It is however best to not to use the same mindisk addresses for multiple program products (if you install in SFS, you'll almost surely use unique dirids.) For VTAM: beware the name of the saved segment. The program directory contains a step to create the saved segment (using VMFSGMAP), there you can change the name segment. Note too that you will need to generate another GCS to pick up the new VTAM segment name.

The VTAM we are using came from ZVM 3.1 minidisks. We have a product tape with VTAM on it. We want to load this VTAM from tape to disk and not disturb what we already have in production. How would I go about doing this? Thanks for the reply. _______________________ Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 "Impossible is just an opinion."
