Thanks John, This is starting to make sense. I did not use z/OSMF at my old shop, as the more senior staff didn’t want it. I had the understanding that if our 2.4/5 Policy was in SYS1.TCPPARMS.PAGENT, for example, then going to 3.1 was a simple matter of reusing those same files. I have not yet read any migration guides, but thought there was not a lot different. At my new shop, there also has been some hesitation to use z/OSMF, but recognization this is the way things are going. And the thought was that we could import the policies into z/OSMF. You’re saying we can’t? Right? Good to know.
