I agree with Skip, and Mark. However, we used to do an "all inclusive" ServerPack that was our entire book of IBM software excluding CICS and DB2. We found that WAS (NOT OEMWAS) is a different animal, with requirements to keep multiple versions around at the same time, so that is a product we now order/install/maintain separately in its own zones.

Everything included in ServerPac goes into one CSI. Period. Everything else goes into some other CSI. Hence if we order a product separately in between ServerPacs but know that it will later on come in the next ServerPac, we install in the ServerPac CSI. Otherwise it goes somewhere else. The reason for this rule is the management of maintenance, which is far easier, more consistent, and more reliable if all the blood cousins are housed in the same bunkhouse. . .

Dunno which way is best, but IBM installs z/OSMF into its own CSIs on the ADCD. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 310-338-0400 x318 [email protected] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
