I have learned from my own... enough. http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/zos_sods.html says "The msys for Setup element of z/OS is planned to be removed in the release following z/OS V1.11. IBM intends to continue to deliver improvements to help with z/OS setup and configuration in the future. " msys for Setuo uses a component prefix of CIM which is unrelated to today's CIM (Common Information Model) element that uses a prefix of CFZ. The latter is also utilized by zOSMF. Hence zOSMF and msys for Setup are technically unrelated - but both target at simplification. (Well, obviously target*ed* in the msys case).

Might want to check out this session next week at SHARE in Seattle: 2249 z/OSMF 1.11 Overview, Implementation and Configuration Speakers: Anuja Deedwaniya and Greg Daynes In this session, the speakers will introduce attendees to the IBM z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF), a new product, that will simplify, optimize and modernize the z/OS system programmer experience. They will specifically cover how to use z/OSMF for problem data management of SVC and user initiated dumps and configuring TCP/IP Policy based definitions. Information from early user experience and setup of z/OSMF on z/OS will also be included. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 310-338-0400 x318 edja...@phoenixsoftware.com http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
IBM's msys for Setup (aka zOSMF?)
msys for Operations went away a few generations of zOS ago, but msys for Setup is clearly included in my ServerPac of zOS 1.11 with manuals written in 2009. It seems to have an alias of zOSMF in some cases. In ANY case, the manual describes it as a way to do your Sysprog job from a PC. So, Now, I ask the questions again 1) Has anyone tried this thing? 2) If you did, did you find it useful 3) are you still using it? I admit it, before I break out the books and spend time, I want to "learn from the experience of others". I have learned from my own... enough. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
