Save progress during deployment of Portal Software Instance

If connection is lost all progress on that step is lost. This causes several extra hours. Now you can only save progress between steps.

    Thomas, can you be more specific? Are you referring to the Deployment Configuration wizard where there are steps to enter data set names and locations, catalog information, volume properties, and zFS mount points? There does currently exist a Save button on each step of the Deployment Configuration wizard. Clicking this button allows you to manually save your progress through the wizard. Are you asking for an automatic save capability? Any specific information you can provide will be helpful. Thank you.
