I think it's a pain in the rear end.
I'm going to be doing a serverpac for 1.9 in a couple of months; plan to
order it on tape by phone to bypass all that.

Sorry - I must vent here.
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?
Lizette
