Okay so riddle me this with IBM's new approach to software installs. So to load the software they allocate everything with a .# on the end of the names, So SYS1.LINKLIB.#, etc...
All the jobs to load all files have completed and ZFS's are now loaded. I now want my end names to be SYS1.xxxxxx In job IZUD04RN, they try to alter the name which is failing for me because the end name is already cataloged. The old serverpac use to do IEHPROGM, then do the idcams Define for indirect cataloging, etc. So how is this supposed to work now?

I have now installed my 22nd z/OS install with z/OSMF, (hundreds with Serverpak) and I can tell you that It has gone increasingly downhill over especially the past year or so. The ability to change values (dataset sizes and other attributes) has gone from limited, to okay back to limited again. It's not a "bad" way to install, but it's not as flexible as serverpak and it doesn't seem to get any better over time, every new install seems to take a small step backwards. Sending in problem reports about the issues seems to be totally ignored. Especially if you tell IBM about the problem and then also give them a work-around. The attitude seems to be, "well, if you got around it, then why is it a problem?"
