5733OPS has 15 options, not all of them have stuff in them. They load into
directory:
/QOpensys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS*
YUM will install into:
/QOpenSys/PKGS/*
So they can coexist on the same system. You access one or the other (or
both) by setting the path properly for the scripts and applications you are
running. They can run concurrently. Just if you have the same function in
both places, be sure you are calling the correct one, on purpose.
Yes, the YUM based installation is replacing 5733OPS, but IBM will not
destroy the OPS, if you don't need it you are free to remove the LPP.
5733OPS has seen the last PTF group (or nearly the last) that will be
produced for it. IBM has moved on to the YUM based products, a very good
thing.....

Jim,
Now I'm confused.
I thought YUM replaced the 5733-OPS, options 1 thru 15.
Or are they running concurrently?
So its ok to leave 5733-OPS , options 1 thru 15, installed, and they will be
updated by PTFs.

Yep, you could use it that way.
There are folks that say delete the LPP. My response is why? It takes next
to no room, and the latest PTF gets it as up to date as it will ever be.
Once you've gotten anything that might use OPS upgraded to the newer code
which will be in a different directory, then consider removing it. In the
meantime, it won't hurt anything.

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.
