Migrate to z/OSMF Deployment

Today, our shop already performs a form of deployment that isn't very conducive to migrating to utilizing z/OSMF deployments. This is the current maintenance deployment process that is utilized:

Maintenance Libraries (MAINT. HLQ & CSI-tlibs-dlibs) >> Production Libraries (PROD. HLQ & tlibs only)

This means that when we attempt a z/OSMF deployment today through the software management interface we are unable to generate the deployment jobs for moving to the production libraries as those SYS3. datasets already exist when trying to create a CSI with tlibs only to deploy maintenance to.

The purpose of this RFE is to add some form of capability for us to create that Production CSI with tlib references alone based on the Maintenance CSI so that customers would be able to migrate to the capability of utilizing the z/OSMF deployment process with CSI replacement instead of CSI creation to perform this.

    IBM had previously requested more clarifying information. Because the additional information was not provided, the request has been closed.

    Hello. I don't understand why you are unable to perform a Deployment operation using z/OSMF Software Management. Can you elaborate on your scenario please? For example, you say "SYS3 data sets already exist." Are you attempting to deploy data sets to a unique volume but z/OSMF detects same named data sets already exist in the catalog? Are the existing data sets indirectly cataloged? Did you indicate in the Deployment configuration the target data sets are also to be indirectly cataloged?
