Hello All, Not too sure how many perform ZOS ServerPac upgrades, but it has come to my attention that IBM has significantly reduced down the number of program utilities provided in CPAC.LINKLiB as of ZOS 2.5 and ZOS 3.1 - utiltiies such as SMFDUMP, Master catalog convert and others that many of our clients rely one for various purposes (such as SMFDUMP).
Looking at our ZOS 2.4 system - CPAC.LINKLIB contains 12 programs. Our ZOS 2.5 system - CPAC.LINKLIB only contains 4 programs. I thought our bread and butter for ZOS was to always be backwards compatible? Why are we removing programs that are hightly useful - anyone running into same issues - if so, are you trying to get these reinstated or ??? What are people replacing with? At a minimum they could be included as optional source code in SAMPLIB or such? IBM - if someone can please chime in here and explain why we are removing such useful tools and utilities please?
