Should I set the names to their eventual values (eg SYS1.Linklib) or leave them as the source values with the expectation that a later step will rename them ? No later step will rename the data sets. Not sure why the model processing did not find matches for most of your data sets, but update the target data set names on the Data Sets page to your desired data set names. - An attempt to change the target volser is rejected because the volume does not yet exist. In the ISPF version there was a job to initialise new volumes. I am aware that z/OSMF does not yet include all of the old method functions but have I missed something here ? No, you have not missed anything. z/OSMF does not provide a capability to define a new volume. You do have an option to initialize an existing volume so it will be empty before any new data sets get created, but no option to define a volume that does not already exist. - I want to use the equivalent of a Serverpac upgrade ie the existing master catalog is used with indirect cataloging. On the ISPF version there was a step to validate the entries in the master catalog and create new entries as required. On the Catalogs page, should I catalog the datasets or not ? Yes, indicate the data sets will be cataloged. An indirectly cataloged data set is cataloged, not uncataloged. Then, on the Volumes page, use the Modify action to indicate data sets on that volume will be indirectly cataloged and specify the symbol to use for the volume in the catalog entries. Curious, did you select the "Existing master catalog" option in step 3 of the Deployment Checklist?
