OK, *two* ServerPac tips today (don't get used to this... ;-):
If you want uncataloged data sets: - Create a new catalog for the installation - Discard it afterwards Jousma, David wrote: <snip>
My sincere wish is that IBM provided another alternative for the software upgrade process that was simpler(at least for me it seems simpler). My target datasets and DLIB datasets are not cataloged by design, because of our cloning process and have the same DSN's as the running datasets. However, due to the SERVERPAC process they have to be CATALOGED for a long enough period to restore them. Since Serverpac already knows the VOLSER of each of the datasets, why not give an option to allocate them all, but not catalog, and then restore to the uncataloged copies? All that would have to be done is to supply VOL=SER= on the RESTORE job. Of course this does not cover the zFS datasets, but those are unique names anyway with SYSRES volser as a qualifier. That would eliminate a bunch of steps.
