Full IBM support required of OMA (OPC Migration Aid) related modules used to migrate non IBM Scheduling Tools to IzWS.

As part of a recent migration from the CA7 Batch Scheduling Tool to IBM's IzWS, a number of OMA (OPC Migration Aid) related modules, supplied by the IBM migration team, were integrated into our local environment. Noting these modules are a requirement for the migration to IzWS, it was stated that the modules were not officially supported via SAMPLIB or the standard IBM Case process, although we could a raise Cases purely as a way of contacting the SMPO team.

To have code in our production systems that is not fully supported by the standard Case process and SAMPLIB is deemed a Risk to the Business and hence we are requesting that the modules in question, OMAJVXIT, OMASCHID and OMAUX007 are supported via SAMPLIB, and hence officially by IBM.

    Hi all, unfortunately we cannot support code that has been written by the SMPO team and that by the way is not part of the partnership between IBM and HCL.
