Let's pretend you loaded product X and X has a prereq of 5733OPS option ##. You figure out the matching YUM distro and load that instead. Product X blows up because it's missing 5733OPS-##. You call them and they say they'll fix that when iNext+2 comes out. So you want a work around and try the symbolic link, or try to find where they have their PATH statement. Then cross your fingers and hope the option and the YUM distro are compatible.

Sure, but why? The YUM variety is going to be the future.....

Possibly dangerous idea but...
Couldn't you just use a symbolic link to fix those?

Well, 5733OPS populated /QOpenSys/usr/bin and so forth.
yum populates /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin and so forth.
A lot of the same programs, but the new ones are uniformly better, in my experience, and I've loaded hundreds (literally) of them.

Now if I could only remember why I initially loaded 5733OPS.
