  z/OSMF V2R1 Software Management was modified to
  
  - offer the data set search capability when adding Non-SMP/E
    managed data sets to a software instance.
  
  - support modifying multiple target mount point directories at
    one time while configuring a deployment.
  
  - add a separate view for SMP/E managed UNIX file system data
    sets and associated UNIX directories for the View Data Sets
    action on a software instance.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• -------------  ENHANCEMENTS  -------------
  The z/OSMF Software Management task has been enhanced to
  support the following functions.
  
  1.To add non-SMP/E managed data sets to a software instance,
  z/OSMF will support searching for data sets using a data
  set name pattern and/or a volume.  One or more data sets
  that match the search criteria may be selected and added
  to the software instance definition.
  
  2.The View Data Sets action for a software instance displays
  all of the data sets that compose the selected software
  instance. z/OSMF will now provide a separate tab to display
  the UNIX file system data sets that are managed by SMP/E,
  and the directories contained within those data sets.
  
  3. While configuring a deployment operation of a software
  instance, the user can modify the mount point directories
  for the UNIX file system data sets in the target software
  instance, one at a time. z/OSMF will now allow the user to
  modify multiple mount point directories at once, providing
  a quick method to make a common change for all selected
  mount point directories.
