CA may be willing to send someone out to your site on their dime to help you get it up and running. They have done so for many shops. As an aside, IMO, it doesn't really take any more z/OS Unix knowledge to install & maintain CA-MSM than it does to install and maintain z/OS. So what are you doing to install and maintain z/OS? Yes, a certain level of knowledge / experience is needed. So if you have more knowledgeable people at your shop that do the "OS" installs and don't typically deal with ISV products, you will probably need their assistance. But once the product is set up and running, the whole idea is that a new sysprog can use it and be productive and it also can save a ton of time for the experienced ones as well. I learned how to customize JCL, allocate files and run SMP/E jobs a few years ago, so I don't need to do it all the time now. :-) Mark -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
