John, Permit me to vent for a moment. This has been one of my pet-peeves for a while. I've placed many Servpac orders over the years, and one thing I wish IBM would do, is somehow distinquish no-charge products from the others when ordering on ShopZ. Another is the XML-toolkit. I order everything we are licensed for, plus all the no-charge items(that make sense) just for completeness, so that I can try to avoid adding products after the fact. Maybe IBM should just issue a license for all the freebie stuff so that users can just place orders for "all licensed products", and be done with it.
Anyway, if you have connections, it would be nice if those were somehow flagged at order time, rather than having to read the announcement to find that info. Thanks, Dave ________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Principal Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 616.653.8429 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Eells Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 4:16 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: z/OS17 with JAVA I think it should have been identified as a "bypassable prerequisite" in the configurator (but did not check).
