Provide a Wizard in ISMF Panels to create the necessary details to set up OAM

It would be helpful if ISMF had a WIZARD function to help generate the details needed to setup OAM.

OAM requires SMS (ACS code and Constructs), DB2 Tables, and OAM CBROAMxx Parmlim, IGDSMSxx parmlib to be set up.

A Wizard could provide the structure and syntax in setting up OAM. Especially if more than on OAM Object will be used.

If the Wizard could create a MODEL that could be inserted into the ACS code, that might be very helpful.

    IBM considers this to be a valid requirement, but compared against the other requirements that OAM has, is not likely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this requirement is still of value to you, please open a new requirement.

    IBM agrees that having a wizard that could help setup the OAM environment/configuration necessary for OAM's object support could be beneficial to our users.
