My adventure with ShopzSeries:
I ordered JAVA SDK for z/OS. It is free product/ I can dowlnload it from
IBM webpage without any paperwork. However web-downloadable form is
non-SMP/E. SMP/E package is only from ShopZ - but it's still free of
charge. But not free of paperwork. It took several weeks (!) to get
...no, not the software - I've got the papers to sign up. After the
signup and sending the papers to IBM I'll MAYBE get my order.
BTW: I also downloaded XML Toolkit for z/OS. This is available for
download in SMP/E form. Why not JAVA SDK ?
BTW2: XML Toolkit is "free of service", so later I downloaded a bunch of
PTFs for that product.
BTW3: I didn't want XML Toolkit. But this is required for CICS TS 3.2
installation. However *no of the IBM systems* informed me about it.
I ordered z/OS and CICS via ShopZ - no notification about prerequisite.
I processed ServerPac Installation Dialog - no information about missing
prerequisite. I found it "hard way" - CALLLIBS failed. Then found "small
font" notification that I need XML Toolkit.
BTW4: When I ordered JAVA SDK for z/OS - the ShopZ "wizard" gently
informed me that I also need prerequsite: z/OS. <vbg>
While the prerequisite for JAVA seems to me quite obvious, the prereq.
for CICS wasn't. And wasn't notified by IBM systems.
OK, time for my pills...
