NO offense against those that advocate "SERVICE" and "PUT2PROD" but this is exactly why after trying to use "SERVICE" once I went back to doing service the old fashioned way and servicing ONLY the products I have installed and using. It might take a little longer but at least I know where I am at in the service procedure. That is just my opinion and I am in now way endorsing one way over the other. Well maybe a little ;>)

I may be totally wrong, but I happened to be running service on z/vm 5.3 yesterday and the SERVICE step failed on 4OSASF40 also. I had all userids commented out in my user directory. I just removed comments and did directxa and then restarted service. I figure I can just take them back out when I?m done? Hope that helps. From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert J Brenneman Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 2:58 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: I know SES can do this - but how? So I'm in the middle of applying service to a z/VM 5.2 system with the SERVICE exec, and all of a sudden it just stops - it can't find 4OSASF40's 7F00 minidisk. I look at the Volser, and It's one I don't recognize. This is not unusual, since I don't run OSASF at all. It just happens to be installed on this system I'm trying to apply service to. Since I'm sitting in the middle of a failed SERVICE exec process - is there a way I can backtrack and tell SERVICE to skip OSASF? I don't care if it gets this RSU applied or not since I don't run it and I never will. Maybe if I could mark it as already updated or something so that when I do a SERVICE RESTART it just skips it?
