AW: Single Pack System Process
Hi Peter, for building a one pack system you need a very deep understanding in various zos areas (like BCP, RACF, JES, Compile, aso.). Of course what is needed in such a system is dependent on what you want what your system should do when it gets IPL'ed. We have a software that maintain, build and clone z/OS systems and you can also build one pack systems from scratch. If you need further help than send me a note, its hardly to describe here because the processes are somehow complicated for building such a system. Thx.

Could anyone be kind enough to describe the way of creating single Pack system ? Objective is just to understand the various different method adopted across different shops. I know and Heard that IBM main has a great number of Mainframe system programmers with 1000 thousand years of experiences together.

Peter It's been a very long time since I looked at any one else's jobs, but if you look at the source (job stream) of my samples near the top, there is a section that describes all the various steps and what they do. I'm sure the other methods are similar (even though there might be multiple jobs).

Re: Single Pack System Process
I'll jump in with my standard if unconventional response. IPLing a systems requires two categories of resources: (1) a sysres volume and (2) everything else. A shop typically has many available sysres volumes. -- SMPE target zone sysres -- Backup copy of that volume -- Some running version of that volume -- Backup copy of that volume -- Etc. Any of these could be pointed to for an emergency IPL or even standalone-restored as necessary to satisfy (1). What you really need to provide is a usable facsimile of (2), which contains -- SPOOL -- Security database -- Network definitions -- Etc. The objective is not to IPL a full-blown system, just one to which you can logon and utilize ISPF, SDSF or equivalent, etc. In other words, you need to get onto an emergency system with enough function and authority to fix whatever is wrong with your production system. Getting a workable of version of (2) is not trivial, but it narrows the scope of what's required. It should include parameter libraries simple enough to get a system running without assuming the latest bells and whistles. KISS. . .
