BTW, on the ServerPac Installation using z/OSMF page https://www.ibm.com/support/z-content-solutions/serverpac-install-zosmf/ there is a z/OSMF Portable Software Instance Demo available: To try it yourself, install a sample z/OSMF Portable Software Instance onto your system by using the demo package below. By installing this sample, you can help verify your z/OSMF configuration and learn the steps to download and deploy a z/OSMF Portable Software Instance. You can use z/OSMF Software Management to download the sample Portable Software Instance directly to your z/OS host, or you can download the Portable Software Instance to your workstation and then use z/OSMF Software Management to upload it from your workstation to your z/OS host.
