I kinda remember MVS/XA and later ESA being CBIPO and CBPDO for maint.
SYSGEN I think was still needed for XA and maybe ESA.
I'm not sure what you meant by Optional Source Materials. If by that you
meant optional source code to install, I think they went the microsloth
bloat ware option later...

Hi, all,
Does anyone recall how MVS/XA was first distributed and installed? e.g.
was there some kind of a "starter system"? If so, what was it? MVS 3.8J,
or MVS/SE or MVS/SP or what?
I seem to recall that someone told me that there was no longer any
"SYSGEN" process used to install MVS/XA? So, how was this task
accomplished?
Also, does anyone recall whether IBM made available any "optional source
materials" for MVS/XA, either machine readable, on magnetic tape, or was
that only available on microfiche, if it was available at all?
Thanks in advance for any details anyone can provide.
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury
