Using Shopz to order z/OS V2.2

Hello IBM Main Listers, I'm using Shopz to order z/OS V2.2. I have used Shopz to order maintenance but I have never done an order for a ServerPac. I'm now on Step 6 of 8 Select new licenses. The screen says to "Select any additional licenses you would like to order." And it shows all of

Ron, I believe you are correct in your assumption of not selecting anything. That question should be for new products/licenses not already part of your profile. I am also assuming you ran a current inventory report and used it as a starting point for the ServerPac order process, right? :-)

z/OS V2 is a new license, the add-on's may be also. Depending on your licensing/service contract with IBM, may result in a MLC increase. Although at this point, I believe you are already out of support on 1.13? _ Dave Jousma

I'm pretty sure that 'incremental adjustment' or 'steering' is limited to just a few minutes. Certainly less than hours. That was true for 9037 sysplex timer; I believe it's true for STP as well. There are so many things wrong with Acquaintance's shop that it's hard to know where to begin.

Re: Using Shopz to order z/OS V2.2

Except that z/OS 2.2 is a new license from 1.13. Once you have it installed all your IFAPRD entitlements that point to z/OS or its parts will need to be updated to show the new licenses. I think that even though the names are all the same, you still have to order new licenses for version 2.

At your acquaintance's site, they might have to set the HMC time first. It depends upon their setup. If they are using STP, then they shouldn't have to manually set the clock on the HMC since the system will get its time directly from the STP server. Based upon what you wrote, I suspect
