I have even worst horror stories with shopZ. I have 2 new processors. But shopz shows 1 new processor and 2 old ones that we no longer have. I have been on the phone with Shopz and IBM to clear this up. I hope I can get my z/OS v1r9 order before long because I have it planned to be implemented before Sept this year.

Is it just me or is ShopzSeries a poor process. Somehow they lost the fact that we were licensed for a couple of products. So when I placed my order they showed up on ADDITIONAL LICENSES screen. I selected them not knowing the problems that would cause and just blindly thought - a week or two and my z/OS V1.9 system would be available for download via the internet. During this time the website just showed Manufacturing INTERNET. As it does right now. Today 3 boxes of 3480 tapes showed up for my Serverpac. Now I have to resubmit the order after they corrected our account to show we are licensed for those products. Now another week or two before I can begin. Is it just me or does this happen often?
