I have been looking at CMF vs. RMF as a question.
Is there any pros or cons between the two? Any other products besides CMF that
competes with RMF on the mainframe?
--------------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------------------
CMF is a wonderful product but it's very maintenance-sensitive, not only
for itself but for the rest of the system as well. It uses a number of
hooks that it places in z/OS code when it starts and removes during
shutdown. If there's a maintenance mis-match, you could be looking at a
system outage. BTDT GTSS.
My choice is to stick with RMF. The numbers aren't as detailed but the
risks are FAR lower.
