I've been doing this on my ServerPac for a while, I've even called out
the ServerPac folks about the issue of, why deliver linklist lpalist
datasets with secondary allocation if the linkist does not support it,
why are they so under allocated, it wasn't until I started to work for
IBM GS that I realized, even the global services folks do not know what
the customer issues are, if GS is building a system for a client we do
not use a ServerPac, most older, seasoned IBM GS folks don't know what a
ServerPac is, or the one's I worked with did not.
my main issue, ongoing with z/OSMF is these incoherent error messages,
and help is no help, when a field is required there's not help prompt
telling me the format or syntax, or what's expected, just, it's not valid.
so many cases open with support I really didn't need to if the help
dialog was actually helpful.
I hate to keep bashing IBM but we, as customers are forced to use a tool
that's not really ready for prime time IMHO

Yes, agree, I typically over allocate the Linklisted data sets and have
zero secondary and increase DIR BLKS as well (if it’s a PDS). I can do
this when the jobs are built but would be MUCH easier in the MODIFY
screens.

What about modifying directory blocks for whatever is still PDS?

We are installing z/OS 2.5 via z/OSMF and are using the Modify Deployment
screens. We can easily change the volumes, HLQs, etc, but wanted to modify
the Primary and/or secondary allocation and don’t see a way to do that.
We have a case opened with IBM and have been told there is no way to do
that and no plans for it in the future. What? We could do that with
the ServerPac, why not with z/OSMF? I was under the impression that
z/OSMF would provide most functions that ServerPac provided.
So, is that capability not going to be provided?
