While this is a terrific collaborative project for the VM Community at Large, would it be helpful to schedule a working BOF (Birds of a Feather) session at SHARE Baltimore in a week and a half? A lot can of thoughts can be considered and discussed in an hour or two compared to wading through

If you do so, schedule it later in the week and announce it here. That way those of us who don't go to SHARE can arrange to attend. 50 miles isn't far, but it does take some advance planning... While this is a terrific collaborative project for the VM Community at Large, would it be helpful to

As promised, I've posted my take on a book outline for new z/VM system programmers. I'd appreciate comments and extensions to the topics (and if people see sections they'd volunteer to write, I'd be thrilled). I think a lot of the material will be reading the IBM stuff and casting it into our own

Chapter 3 note - applying the most recent RSU/COR is included in the VM One Page Install sheet. So it should be a normal thing in a virgin install of VM for the person to use the automatic tools (SERVICE PUT2PROD). Those steps are definitely included there and seem to be well documented for
