And z/OS R1 was supposed to be the last "RELEASE" of z/OS. Now we are at z/OS R2

True that it's gotten easier to install/maintain w/ Liberty Profile however there's plenty of room for improvement. E.g. Having the ability to easily remove a plug-in would be nice...lol. IBM is always trying to make a better mainframe "wheel" and this time the heralded front-runner is zOSMF. In my own jaded opinion zOSMF's only purpose is to lure younger talent and interest to the mainframe. The new talent pool apparently demands system mgmt. w/ a mouse! W/e.... I recall an IBM offering called SSX/VSE that would virtually eliminate the need for VSE sysprogs...a real turn-key nirvana. It lived a few years and was gone. Another was DMS which was going to revolutionize the CICS application programming world. It lasted a few years as well. There's always a magic potion to sell. In response to serverpac I would say that serverpac is a great installation tool and adding the entire IBM product set to it is goodness for sure. However I would ask IBM, please do not mandate zOSMF. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
