RE: CA CAESDR is ok, and the order process if fine. The biggest complaint I have with software/maintenance downloads is that CA bundles CA-Common Services (CA-CCS formerly CA-90s) in just about every product package. W H Y ??? It is available as a separate download. If I download four service pack ESD tapes for four different products, I get four copies of the same CA-Common Services product stuffed into the download. Since CA-CCS is a large download (300 MB or more, IIRC), it sometimes pushes me over the firewall/virus scanner limits for download size.
And by the way, I have pursued various CA organizations, opened problem tickets, and spoke to the CA service reps at SHARE to get Common Services unbundled...to no avail Regards, Steve -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pinnacle Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 3:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: OEM software electronic download report card Compuware - A+ (slick .exe that uploads to the mainframe of your choice with prefix and volser references, and JCL samples that take it the rest of the way - NICE JOB Compuware, this is what the others should aspire to (yes, I said that)) SyncSort - A (relatively painless if your mainframe has FTP access to the internet, otherwise the download/upload to/from a PC would earn this install a D) CA - B (having to create a tape with CAESDR drops this grade from an A) Mobius - D (downloaded a zip file to PC, then their samp JCL says to FTP from the PC to the mainframe - Hello, McFly, W(ho)TF runs an FTP server on their PC???)
