well service removal is never easy or automated. If this was a bunch of COR service it is easier to remove but never fun. Since RSU service is pre-built going to backup is probably the cleanest way out of it. I don't suggest this but you could try: for every serviced component: 1. removing top level apply disk 2. rebuild every object in every loadlist with VMFBLD ..... ( ALL It is ugly and gross so don't bother David

Yeah, restore from backup was the first thing I thought of - but I'll have to give up some work I've completed since the last backup (no big deal, I can redo it easy enough). It just seemed like SOMEWHERE in the giant world of SES there might be a relatively easy way of saying "remove all service" and let the system revert back to it's "base" state (prior to any RSU/COR applications). I'll start scanning my backup tapes............ :( -Mike -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Kreuter Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 2:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Backing Off an RSU ouch. As Rich said, you likely need a good backup. The RSU is pre-applied and pre-built so all of the SES/E disks for each component are touched with patches, control structures, and built objects. I was thinking of advising to remove the top level apply, and run VMFAPPLY and a VMFBLD .... ( ALL but alas I do not think it will give desirable results.
