Unresolved HOLDDATA Processing

When you install FIXCAT maintenance, review, and process any unresolved HOLDDATA for the installed maintenance and its prerequisites. The Finalize FIXCAT step of the wizard displays all unresolved HOLDDATA and lets you review the HOLDDATA and details about the HELD maintenance. You can then either bypass the HOLDDATA or exclude the HELD maintenance. CA CSM determines unresolved HOLDDATA by running SMP/E APPLY GROUPEXTEND CHECK.

In the Finalize FIXCAT step, you can perform the following actions:

• You can select HOLDDATA (HOLDDATA TYPE, REASON, or maintenance) to bypass it.
• You can leave HOLDDATA unselected to exclude it. If you do not select a particular HOLDDATA entry check box, CA CSM excludes the HELD maintenance from the installation.

If you decide to exclude at least one HELD maintenance package, CA CSM runs an appropriate SMP/E APPLY GROUPEXTEND CHECK command to verify the installation. CA CSM verifies whether any other maintenance requires the excluded maintenance. If so, CA CSM also excludes it from processing.

If the SMP/E APPLY GROUPEXTEND CHECK command discovers further unresolved HOLDDATA, the Finalize FIXCAT step reports all unresolved HOLDDATA again. Select what HOLDDATA to bypass and what HELD maintenance to exclude.

This iterative process repeats until all HOLDDATA is either resolved or bypassed. You can then proceed to the next step.

A list of FIXCAT maintenance that is excluded during the processing of unresolved HOLDDATA is displayed in the Summary step.
