Hi Mark W.,
It's true that the VMSE MAINT procedures are slightly different than the process
described by Melinda and the other document you named. Mark S. pointed out the
MAINT MEMO file, where we want to describe this stuff. I made the VMSETUP EXEC
to be similar to the VMFSETUP EXEC in the later VM releases which use the SES facility.
In a typical customer site, in the 70s, you had IBM supplied base code, IBM fixes, and
local customer modifications. In VMCE, you have IBM code, IBM fixes, VMCE modifications,
and a 4th level is code modifications added by you. That is really the only difference.
I build my own local modifications on the MAINT A work disk, and then copy them to the?
594 (for CP) or 593 (for CMS) when they are finished. To go to a new VMSE release, you can
copy the 594 and 593 to the new system (using a virtual tape or VMARC file download and
upload). Of course, you may have to rework any local modifications, if VMSE made changes
to the same source files.
Please send in any specific question that are not answered by MAINT MEMO, and we can update it.
Thanks for testing/Bob
