It would be even better if IBM stopped using the default of /Service for everything.... zos, cics, db2 etc.. It would be a bit smarter if the default was something unique for each order

/service/orderno  (with 'orderno' being the actual order number

or maybe

/service/zos/orderno
/service/cics/orderno

Yes I know we can all change it (how many do), but how much better would it be if IBM led the way and suggested a more practical approach, with less risk of overwriting the wrong filesystem.

John,

What they're doing is this:

They want to point all the Unix Services directory paths to
/Service/whatever for installing the new software/maintenance.  They
don't know if you already have some DDDEFs already pointing to /Service.
They run the first one to remove any /Service from the paths so that
when they go through and prepend /Service on all the DDDEF paths you
don't end up with any that look like /Service/Service/whatever.
