Not sure I agree with you Kurt, My z/OS installs are less than 2 years old, my res volume/s and Dlibs, even operational datasets don't move around.
And even if I did, it is a very small number of them, which is why the RECATLG2 job with indirect or volsers, I could correct anything flagged different. I used the last offering of Serverpac to install my z/OS 2.5 and had everything ready in a few hours, because I just loaded my last saved configuration, modified anything new and started running jobs. When I went and then re-ordered for z/OSMF, it was cumbersome, like extremely! z/OSMF did checking in the background, that I could not circumvent and failed multiple times. I eventually gave up and said for the next release I hope someone find a cheat way to simplify this again! Because z/OSMF isn't it.

Oh, so just like the Model function in z/OSMF Software Management? When you install software, like z/OS, using z/OSMF, during the Configuration step of the Deployment action in Software Management you have the option to model the configuration on your existing installed software. For example, if you're installing z/OS 2.5, you can initialize the configuration to look a lot like your existing z/OS 2.4 or 2.3 system. In my opinion this is better than the CustomPac saved configuration function since that configuration is dated and stale, whereas your existing z/OS 2.4 or 2.3 is most likely something you actively service and use in some capacity.
