You can today specify a component name on PUT2PROD, but CP and CMS share production disks, so today's PUT2PROD will force CMS into production as well. In the future, PUT2PROD will have a more delicate touch and be able to do them separately. > Can I install SW on placed I like (not in users like 5684042J or 5654010A)? > And not necessarly in VMSYS, (what often means VMSYS:5654010A.xxx) but in for > example SFSESA:MAINTPP.VTAM420 ? Sure. Just do a PPF override to SERVP2P or the product PPF. Note that you cannot override the SERV2P2 PPF for z/VM itself or pre-installed products during installation, so if you choose to override them later, you must copy the existing data to the new location. For VMSES/E-formatted products that you install later, you can override the PPF during installation, avoiding the need to copy data. For more information, see the Program Directory for the product you are interested in. > I know, it can be documented somewhere (PPFs? other ctrl files?), but I didn't > get any education about this.

It's all there in the VMSES/E Reference, but it's not for the faint of heart. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
