give customer a script to validate GDPS pre-requisites

We are moving to GSM, and we have a lot of modification to do on application LPAR.
Forgetting a parameter could lead to another IPL to correct or can lead to a production problem.
Having a script or a something to validate all configuration before a start in production would be a real benefit.

    Hello,

    Even with professionnal services, GSM need a lot of pre-requisite before starting.
    As it is also strongly linked with SA/Netview, our migration should be a one shoot activation.
    So we would like to have a script that will check if all pre-requisite are ready, like RACF right, BCPii permissions, and all the stuff related to GSM.

    Currently you are deploying the GDPS Solution Manager (GSM). We would have expected that the GDPS Practitioners would have assisted on this. Pls elaborate on what happened and what you think should be provided. Thanks
