I took a look at doc for 140CMDS and 150CMDS and now I see the Y or N called out for col 35. I overlooked that as I did the last time we upgraded DIRMAINT. Mark found it then as he did now. What I don't understand is what appears to be the fact that there are so many places in DIRMAINT,

VMFREM to backout an RSU?

2007-11-14 Thread Hooker, Don
I'm applying an RSU to our z/VM 5.2 system. I've already run the SERVICE exec against the envelope files and plan to do the PUT2PROD just before a scheduled weekend IPL. I've been asked how to back it out if there are problems. Rather than volume and/or minidisk restores, can I just use VMFREM

VMFREM of the RSU PTF number wouldn't work if you ask me. The RSU PTF number is just an easy way to order the RSU by using the service ordering procedures. And, PUT2PROD, yes, that's the one I don't like: it makes that e.g. MAINT 190 and 490 become identical, there goes your fallback. I change
