The product lifecycle page appears to be having issues too. Its making me login
now to view details, and then giving me access denied messages.
It was working earlier this week.

Year 15 of the 3 year plan to move off the mainframe.
Seems like I've heard that before.
Oh yes, it will save us "x" amount of dollars.
Of course we're going to spend 45 times the projected savings to get there, but
that comes out of a different budget item so it's okay.

I've worked from home through multiple z/OS upgrades, various cpu upgrades,
dasd upgrades, and tape migrations from physical to virtual.
For people with the proper discipline, I have yet to see a justifiable reason
for being in the office.
This is the year 2020, not 1950.
Except for perhaps
Congratulations and enjoy your retirement.

Good lord no.
I'm reminded that somehow ("magically I guess"), we all managed to survive the
60s, 70s, 80s, and even the early 90s without this formal change control
nonsense.
If you must track, then the product from action software works.
Otherwise no, just no, easy solution below.

I usually try to implement maintenance twice a year, but each shop is somewhat
different, depending upon ipl schedule,
size of shop, workload, etc.
If you're looking for a doc to justify your decision, there is this:

"As I am reading this, all I can think of is Windows 10 and Automatic updates.
Since accidentally going to Windows 10, I have crashed my laptop at least 10
times and spent many days and a lot of money trying to recover. Be careful what
you wish for."
Ditto on windows anything. I've had quite e
s
reports, let other people know what I am working on. If we need to have
additional project related meetings (software or hardware upgrades) I dial into
those.
Email is available, and so is Skype.

Until the trend of "management by airline magazine" stops, it's off to the
highest bidder or the company with the least amount of B.S.

find workers in the U.S.".
Thankfully, there are remote opportunities available, check into companies such
as Mainline and others.

"I am unsure what an auditor it thinking."
I have been in the mainframe field almost 43 years and I have yet to understand
what an auditor is thinking.
Common sense and forethought do not seem to be a requirement for being an IT
auditor.

I don't do video, I do phone for meetings.
I don't have the noise or constant distractions in an office environment so I
am far more productive at home.
The worst part of my "commute" is that I sometimes trip over the dog on the way
to power up the computer.

I am having the same ibm logon issue here, tried both firefox and IE

There's not really a shortage of IBM mainframe talent.
There is a shortage of talent that is willing to work for peanuts.

I remember when Shands acquired their first mainframe in the 1980s, went
through a few upgrades there, then I left in 1995

I'm not even sure they read the script the night before, more likely in the
elevator on their way in the building.
sorry, but it's been more stupid and absolutely absurd auditor nonsense today.

must be some more of that five 9's availability.
SR is giving me "An unexpected error has occurred" when trying to update a pmr.
I will however congratulate them on reducing their total number of pmrs, since
no one wants to deal with this stupid SR system.
