McKown pretty well covered it, but I will add my experience. I just went from os390 2.10 to zOS 1.08 and the hardest part was the learning curve on ordering, SMPE internet install and such. It WAS necessary to get a 1.07 "driving system" to do the initial SMPE load, but that was really pretty simple. After that it was mostly little things, but then I am running a monoplex.

For years we would order a new version of software I would lay it down,get an iplable test system and then get (hire) help to setup a production system and move catalogs,data and general upgrade things. Well I order z/OS1.7(we are a 1.6 shop) and there was a problem with the order. Management cut several things out like cobol, ispf and few minor players. So i scrapped the order and told management about the problem. By the time everything was solved they were at v1.9. Also I was told no help this time do it by myself(I am a 1 man shop z890/110) and according to IBM there is no upgrade path to 1.9 or 1.10 which is what I would go to. So I am wondering is there some kind of roadmap to get to were I need to be? I can hack my way through just about anything. thanks in advance Mace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
