Review the new z/OSMF service process
Description
In previous releases of z/OSMF, applying service sometimes required that you run the izusetup.sh script with the -service option. This action was needed to update the Enterprise Archive (EAR) files in z/OSMF.
As of z/OSMF V2R1, you are no longer required to perform this step. Instead, you need only restart the z/OSMF server. With this change, the -service option is deprecated and will likely be removed from z/OSMF in a future release. For instructions on applying z/OSMF service items, see the associated APAR cover letter.
