Obviously YMMV - for home-built applications, it can be eezy-peezy.

As to the LICPGM thing, that's an interesting question - I hope IBM have a good answer for that! Since I've not used those APIs for any product installation, I can't comment - I'd hope that some program call could be done as part of such an installation. Even so, it could be challenging to SAVLICPGM if split between *SYSBAS and an iASP - curiouser and curiouser!

But that's a bit OT, so time to get back to work.

When ISVs use IBM's software packaging APIs so that customers can install their software as an LPP using the RSTLICPGM command, all of the software components installed by RSTLICPGM must reside in *SYSBAS. (This is just one more example.)

Each vendor or ISV product in use will be different -- some will fully support IASPs and others may support IASPs only in a limited way, or not at all.

I was involved in getting some RJS products to work in an iASP - it really wasn't all that difficult - not completely trivial, but the restrictions have become less onerous over time.

It is necessary to consider the things you cite, AND I think it your caution is a bit over-stated, based on my own experience.

RJS did not have any objects that had to be in *SYSBAS only - other products and applications will need to look at those objects - largely configuration objects and other system things, as I recall.
