Re: CUME level V5R1

Please

Kill all the groupptf's and give us CUMs, what is expensive about it, now a
order a Cum and All the needed Groups, I get between 8 and 10 CD's all in
separate shipments and next month I reorder the new groups etc,etc,etc.
Not to mention all the work putting them in several iSeries.

I heard of a product evaluting all these cd's and creating a custom
(smaller) package for installing on other iSeries, this all depending on the
products loaded on the several machines. (like the old custem install
tapes).
Anybody using this?
Would be a nice new OS/400 feature, instead of the OPS-NAV multiple system
thing
