Randy,
I completely agree, This will be my 40th year working on z/OS and at least
another 7 years to go.
I find z/OSMF cumbersome. I prefer to do things close to the source. Not a
tool to add layers of complexity and places to go wrong with yet more strange
messages.
I installed z/OS 2.5 before they eliminated SERVERPAC. I then ordered it again
to try it thru z/OSMF, it added a lot more time, the SSA's, my SMS ACS
routines and how things got built added to the complexity. Plus there are many
times I would bypass steps in serverpac, that because z/OSMF is performing what
they call checks, think idiot proofing, makes this even more difficult.
More to come, but if I find work arounds, I will bypass in the future what I
can in z/OSMF software installs.

I'm sure my complaints don't do any good, but I've been doing this for 25 years
(I know many of you a lot longer).
I don't understand why IBM wants to force everyone to use z/OSMF.
Maybe it's an attempt to attract a younger group of System Programmers.
That's fine. However, I am not a GUI fan. I like the green screen.
Serverpac works great. I am running into issues trying to learn z/OSMF.
It's a waste of my time when I already know how to use Serverpac.

Running zOSMF under z/OS 2.4. In attempting to load the Portable Software
Instance, retrieving the contents from the directory, that was used when the
order was retrieved to our system, I get the following error.
An error was found in file "/u/pinionr/TDMF/IZUD00DF.json". Error: "The file
contains data that is not supported by the current level of z/OSMF. The version
= 8."IZUD277E Feb 16, 2023, 10:14:02 AM
I have no idea how to proceed. If I need to apply maintenance to zOSMF, how
would I be able to proceed?
