Do not lump config in with install.

Additional context

I will look into what's correct to say here. zos squad is researching this.

1000TurquoisePogs commented 2 weeks ago

I'm seeing occurrences of node used for the following purposes:

Install of PAX, which uses "zwe install" which uses node to manipulate YAML
Init using "zwe", zosmf workflows, or zowe server install wizard
- Avoidable via use of JCL samples w/ Keyrings
Startup when discovery enabled & zosmf used
Containers
- prestop - discovery registration cleanup is performed on stop
- cleanup - cron job for doing registration cleanup periodically
zwe support
Most v2 zwe operations if zowe.useConfigmgr=false
