Yeah. But it also says go read the text units to see what else they require. The DDNAME unit doesn’t require anything else. So I’m baffled as to why it says this and there are no “extra” requirements given. Sent from my iPhone — small keyboarf, fat fungrs, stupd spell manglr. Expct mistaks

Thanks for the advice on Sizer utility. In our present case, however, new and old CECs will not be connected at the same time. An installation decision made some time ago. We are able to run our sandbox sysplex ahead of time on the new CECs but without concurrent connection on the old CECs. So
