Managing SMP/E Environments › Generate an Exception SYSMOD Report for an SMP/E Environment

Generate an Exception SYSMOD Report for an SMP/E Environment

You can generate an exception SYSMOD report for your SMP/E environments using the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command. Use this report to determine whether any processed SYSMODs are now exception SYSMODs, or whether any resolving SYSMODs are available for held SYSMODs. You must have write access to the SMP/E environment that you issue the command for.

Note: For more information about the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command, see the IBM SMP/E V3R4.0 Commands.

When you generate an exception SYSMOD report, CA CSM starts a task. This task has the following results:

• The task updates HOLDDATA from the CA Support Online website.
• The task receives HOLDDATA into the global zone of each SMP/E environment in which you run the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command.
• The task runs the REPORT ERRSYSMODS NOPUNCH SMP/E statement for the global zone and all target zones of each SMP/E environment.

After the task completes, you can find the exception SYSMOD report in task details.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the SMP/E Environments tab, and locate the SMP/E environment that you want to generate an exception SYSMOD report for.

   Note: You can also generate an exception SYSMOD report using the SMP/E Environments, SMP/E Environment Information tab.

2. Click the Actions drop-down list to the right of the SMP/E environment, and select Exception SYSMOD Report.

   A dialog appears that shows the progress of the task. Completing the task can take several minutes.

3. When the task completes, click Show Results on the Progress tab.

   The dialog closes. The task output browser opens.

4. In the tree on the left side, click the task step that is named ‘Exception SYSMODs report for your_environment_name’, and then click SMPRPT under it.

   The exception SYSMOD report appears on the right side.

5. Review, and optionally download the report, searching for particular instances in the output. If the output contains more than one page of data, you can browse the output using the page counter in the top right corner.
6. Click Close on the top right corner.

   The task output browser closes, and the Tasks page appears.
