It's not so much a struggle to persuade anyone to do something. It's more of a matter of moving in a direction that makes sense, what our customers have asked for, and what supports the Mainframe 2.0 initiatives. It isn't something that happens all at once. Those solutions that are already there, have confirmed that their products are following standard SMP/E methods. The rest are following right behind the others. I'm more of a glass-half-full person, so I enjoy the ones that are already there, and look forward to the ones that will soon follow.

CA-1, never. CA TLMS, never. The Sterling storage products (CA-Disk, CA-Vtape), never. There might have ben a few, but that was NOT the norm.

I can only imagine.
