Troubleshooting › Accept or Restore Maintenance in SMP/E Fails

Accept or Restore Maintenance in SMP/E Fails

Symptom:

When I try to accept or restore maintenance in an SMP/E environment, the task fails, and the SPMOUT output reports error messages.

• For accepting maintenance, the error messages can be:

  GIM51702S ** THE ACCEPT COMMAND WAS NOT PROCESSED BECAUSE NO RELATED ZONE WAS SPECIFIED IN THE ZONE DEFINITION ENTRY.
  

  GIM50801S ** ZONE zone_name WAS NOT USED BECAUSE IT IS NOT DEFINED BY A ZONEINDEX SUBENTRY IN THE GLOBAL ZONE.
  

• For restoring maintenance, the error messages can be:

  GIM51702S ** THE RESTORE COMMAND WAS NOT PROCESSED BECAUSE NO RELATED ZONE WAS SPECIFIED IN THE ZONE DEFINITION ENTRY.
  

  GIM50801S ** ZONE zone_name WAS NOT USED BECAUSE IT IS NOT DEFINED BY A ZONEINDEX SUBENTRY IN THE GLOBAL ZONE.
  

Reason:

Depending on the action you are performing, the reason is one of the following:

• If you accept maintenance, the SMP/E environment is missing the target zone that is related to the affected distribution zone, or the related target zone does not exist.
• If you restore maintenance, the SMP/E environment is missing the distribution zone that is related to the affected target zone, or the related distribution zone does not exist.

Solution:

• Submit a batch job with a step similar to the following example to either add the missing target zone that is related to the affected distribution zone, or define the existing target zone:

  SET
     BOUNDARY(distribution_zone_name) .
  UCLIN .
  ADD DLIBZONE(distribution_zone_name)
    RELATED(target_zone_name) .
  ENDUCL .
  

• Submit a batch job with a step similar to the following example to either add the missing distribution zone that is related to the affected target zone, or define the existing distribution zone:

  SET
     BOUNDARY(target_zone_name) .
  UCLIN .
  ADD TARGETZONE(target_zone_name)
    RELATED(distribution_zone_name) .
  ENDUCL .
