Re: SMP/E packaging for RECEIVE ORDER?



Survey question: What do you do?

1. Download directly to z/OS
a. FTP (what client?)
b. Other (specify)

a) - almost always (z/OS FTP).

2. Download to desktop, and then to z/OS:
a. FTP
b. Samba
c. IND$FILE
d. NFS
e. Other (specify)

a) - only when 1 a) not available.

3. RECEIVE FROMNETWORK

4. RECEIVE ORDER

5. Tape.

IBM never - ISV often as some seen incapable of understanding any
request for *mainframe* updates.
We have licenses for some products on both big iron and toy server
boxes. Two ISVs have recently provided Windoze maint when asked for
z/OS.
I re-ordered and demanded 3490 so they might put some thought into it.
And they expect payment for (so called) support - sheesh.

There is also issues with getting holes punched in firewalls. My latest
attempt to download MXG failed as Barry now seems to use a different IP
than last time.
