You're fine.
Create new mount points in your 1.9 root and empty file systems (zFS
is preferred now). Mount the file systems at /service/new_dir.
Or just create the file system and mount it at /service now (or whatever
your service dir is).
Use /samples/copytree to copy out the code from the old root to
the newly created file system. Or you could use pax (make sure you
are superuser before using pax):
pax -rwv -p e /from /to
or cd to "from" dir then
pax -rwv -p e . /to
In z/OS 1.7 and above use this instead
pax -rwvCDM -p eW /from /to
or cd to "from" dir then
pax -rwvCDM -p eW . /to
(interpreting flags left as an exercise for the reader).
Then update your BPXPRMxx to point to the new mount point(s). You can
separate it out now prior to your migration from 1.7 to 1.9.
You probably need to update SMP/E DDDEFs also if you are still
maintaining or need to maintain any of the products you are moving
out. I guess if it is also installed into the z/OS CSI, then you should
migrate the FMIDs to a new SMP/E environment. BUt that's another
thread (search the archives).
