It is comforting to know that I can still punch my way out of a paper bag.
I took the 'clear the catalog' approach for the Dlibs.It was not totally
clear sailing. Still haunted by data set decisions and location choices made
(literally) decades ago.

Thanks Kurt.Using Indirect Cataloging did the job for my Target SYSRES
datasets. z/OSMF no longer complains.
However, this is the first creation of my Dlibs from the Portable Software
Instance. They are also intended to have the same names that have been around
for (almost) ever.

Hi Tom,
Glad to see that you are getting back on track. For your catalog question, it
sounds like you want to use your existing mcat for your new z/OS V2.5 system.
That's fine. If you use your existing mcat, you've got to be using indirect
cataloging. That is reasonable, as you'd want to use

I stripped out everything to do with the Software instances and deployments
related to my Zos25 install.
I defined an instance for my new deployment
This instance was modeled on my ZOS V2R4 install. The source for the instance
is the downloaded ShopZ ZFS.
As always Marna - THANK YOU very much. You are always a treasure trove of

Tom,
The job to remove the temporary catalog alias (aka SSA) and rename the data
sets to prepare for an IPL is done during the z/OSMF Deployment (not in the
Post Deploy Workflow), and is found in the Software Management provided job,
IZUD05RN - that's the name that my generated job was, and it
And the battle continues. Ignorance is taking the hits.
I am obviously ignorant to the design of the approved 'how to' way to do this.
I tried removing the CB. prefix on my dataset names. 800+ error messages
later, I found that the Lion cannot digest that. It regurgitates every name

I am very familiar with that Job --- I have run it under ServerPac for a dozen

What I cannot find now is how to get z/OSMF to generate that JOB for the
current software order.
I have not been able to find it in the z/OSMF GUI interface.
