Hello Tom, If you are an entitled to RMF, you are also entitled to use Advanced Data Gatherer at no additional cost. If you check "RMF" on Shopz, you do not have to check "Advanced Data Gatherer". Meaning, there is no requirement that you also "check" or "buy" Advanced Data Gatherer, if you are an RMF customer.
Please read all about the restructure of RMF, which occurred in z/OS V2.5 in both the z/OS V2.5 Planning for Installation, and the z/OS V2.5 Upgrade Workflow. In the z/OS V2.5 Planning for Installation, it is here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=features-list-base-elements-optional In my version of the z/OS V2.5 Upgrade Workflow, it is step: Step 4.22.2.1 : RMF: Determine updates for RMF structural changes I hope this helps explain what has occurred. Also - you might want to notice several feature restructures which are happening in z/OS 3.1. Those are all described in the z/OS 3.1 Planning for Installation book: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.5.0/pdf/e0zb100_v3r1.pdf -Marna WALLE z/OS Install and Upgrade IBM Poughkeepsie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
