1) Who and how did IBM announce these changes to the process so we could
of had this all in place rather than race to get it fixed.
2) We noticed on the website we see RSU is available to download for our
z/OS system but no indication of PUT which we also download. Does anyone
know will it also be available like it used to be through shopz?
Posting a response for a colleague:
The recent ShopzSeries changes were intended to simplify installed
software report selection and creation, and clarify package selection.
We apologize for any disruption to your existing processes that occurred
due to the lack of advance notice of these changes.
Now let me address your other concerns. When creating the installed
software report using the GIMXSID program you may change the SMPXTOUT DD
statement to be a sequential data set, just like you had used for the
other types of reports. This is identified in comment 3 in the sample
JCL provided in the Help on the website
(https://www14.software.ibm.com/ShopzSeries/GimxsidJCL.txt). To order
PUT service, simply select package category "All service" in the z/OS
service drop-down list on the "My orders" page.
For a description of all the ShopzSeries changes deployed on January 26,
2009 click "News" on the left navigation bar of the ShopzSeries website
(www.ibm.com/software/shopzseries).
Should you have any further questions or concerns you may email me
