Re: z/OSMF desktop

[Colin Paice]

   - I found z/OSMF frustrating.  I wrote a post on a practical guide to
   get it working
   

   as it is not very well designed for digital certificates.
   - The server certificate they create is badly defined, missing the
  ALTNAME.  This means my browser whinges "your connection is not private"
  when I try to use it.
   - I could not find  the "real world" perspective I would expect from a
   strategic product.  For example
   - How do I setup z/OSMF in a sysplex - one on each LPAR? Do I get
  single-system-image so any personal configuration is available
where-ever I
  logon?
  - Can I set up two instances on one LPAR (for availability),  if so
  what do I need to think about
  - How do I set up up production and test on the same LPAR
  - I have two TCPIP stacks, is this supported?
  - If I shut it down on this LPAR, can I just start it on that LPAR?
  - It recreates the configuration file every time (unless you edit the
   JCL proc and remove this step) So you are familiar with Liberty on z/OS,
   you have to be careful about customising it.
   - You need a big screen because it goes with "tiles" instead of compact
   icons.  I could not find a way of customising the display
   - I found some of it a bit buggy.  If you stick to the "golden path"
   which has been well tested you'll be fine.
   - On my zPDT running z/OS under Ubuntu, it is slow to start.   You can
   improve this, see here
   

   .

Like all web based interfaces, it has been designed to be driven by a
mouse, rather than the keyboard.  I think it is fine for those with some
experience of z/OS as it reduces the knowledge you need to need to do some
tasks.  As an experienced z/OS person I found it bit mouse-clicky and
slower than I would like.   As this is designed to help the newer
generation I think being clicky is OK.
