Hi Marcy, Great thanks. BTW, I heard that the Workload Ensemble under URM (z/Manager) is still not GA is this true and in general have you guys used z/Manager and what do you think? My initial interest in z/Manager was for the Workload piece where they claim it will give z/OS Workload Manager type control over z/VM processes any idea on this?
Thanks again Marcy!
