To Brians remark about the quality of installation deliverables
We had missing component or two in our z/OS 2.4 order from July, before 2.5 hit
the streets.
It is hard enough to get z/OS up and running without glitches and 'do it our
way, or else' directives.
I dread z/OSMF as an installer
Happy Turkey Day in advance Bob!

The PTFs for OA62404 are making their way through test, and should be available
next week. If you'd like a ++APAR for this APAR, please contact IBM Service,

The only real problem I have with z/OSMF is the overhead. Several of the sites

the overhead is beyond what they can live with.

Good question. Since the file system that'll be used for this z/OSMF instance
isn't used for anything else, and we're not yet live with 2.4 on that system,
I'm might just empty that var file system and start over again.

Thanks again. When we had a fuller function z/OSMF up under z/OS 2.4 last
weekend I used the Security Configuration Assistant to resolve any problems in
that area.
We're a software development company, and our developers wanted a basic
stripped down z/OSMF instance to ensure that our products
Mark,
You already have *more* than what they are asking. If they want Lite, I'd say
that it is there with more. If you don't like a specific plug-in and don't

I'm guessing this is not a scenario the z/OSMF
We have configured full function z/OSMF environments on older releases of z/OS
for our developers to build/test interfaces to it from our own products. On our
z/OS 2.4 system the developers have asked for a z/OSMF Lite environment to be
made available there, once again to test our products so

The z/OSMF Workflow is a framework that supports z/OS System Programmers
(Workflow provider) to define a guided flow (workflow) through steps to
accomplish a system management or configuration task. System programmers can
organize the tasks they perform for day to day operation in a workflow
The problem was actually with the MAXTHREADTASKS in BPXPRMxx which was set
too low
