The z/OSMF UI suffers from a notable issue - despite being labeled as
modern, it falls short in comparison to current web UI standards. It
relies on the outdated Dojo Toolkit, which was already considered
outdated when z/OSMF was initially released and is practically obsolete
now. In defense of Terri and her 14" screen, z/OSMF should be designed
to be usable on mobile devices by implementing responsive design
principles. Responsive design aims to ensure that web pages render well
across various devices and screen sizes, from the minimum to maximum
display size, ensuring usability and user satisfaction.
To test this, one can press F12 on any browser while in z/OSMF and
select a device from the mobile device mode button. Unfortunately,
z/OSMF fails to resize correctly, resulting in a terrible user
experience. If this is considered the future, it is a concerning
prospect. IBM should consider engaging experienced UX professionals to
address these issues promptly, as the current state of z/OSMF is far
from satisfactory.

Besides having ServerPac back, I want no background checking down.
I want batch jobs built to allocate everything, IF a newbie want to trust the
process awesome. But in my 38 years, opps doesn’t cut it.
Again, just give me a switch. Allow the scripts to build the batch jobs and I
will verify everything exists, if a conflict arises in dataset names, flag them
and I will resolve in batch.
Then too many headers, Tabs, etc, in workflows means you only see about 3-4 lines on
a 14" monitor. I should not have to acquire a new monitor to run/see them with
ease.
Again I hate, anything that runs remote to the lpar, it’s the first thing that
doesn’t respond, besides using way too much CPU overall, just to screen flip.
Serverpac hardly ever got out of period 1, TSO.
Just a bad design overall....

In an attempt to steer this to a brainstorming thing...
What are the components of zOSMF, and what are the warts people have noticed?
Apart from the UI or that a UI itself exists.
Websphere Liberty,... what else?
What parts are tunable, what capabilities are needed, etc?

I don't see why, and that wouldn't be consistent with what they have done in
the past.
Some examples:
z/OS 2.1 was available September 2013. It was not supported on a z990
or a Z890. Support for those were dropped in 2014 and 2016 z/OS 2.2 was
available in 2015. It was not supported on a z9. z9 EC was supported until
2017. z9 BC was supported until 2019.
z/OS 2.3 was available in 2017. It was not supported on a z196 (support dropped
2021) or z114 (supported until 2022).
z/OS 2.5 was available in 2021. It was not supported on a zEC12 or a zBC12.
AFAIK, support for those have not yet been dropped.
I'm not sure, but I think that what IBM has done is to support a level of
hardware until the last release of z/OS that is supported on that machine is
off support, or at least withdrawn from marketing. Not to support a new release
of the operating system on all processors that are currently supported at GA.

So is IBM definitely dropping support for the z13s BEFORE z/OS 3.1 is
officially out? If not, then it should be supported by z/OS 3.1. . . .
