Apply Maintenance

Prior to performing any maintenance, review the chapters concerning component configuration for any maintenance considerations.

CA Support Online may have maintenance and HOLDDATA that have been published since the installation data was created. In addition to maintenance found on CA Support Online, there may be maintenance already received into your SMP/E environment during the installation step associated with SAMPJCL member, AW03RECD.

To apply maintenance

  1. Check CA Support Online and download any PTFs and HOLDDATA published since this release was created. Also, browse the SMP/E data set SMPPTS created during the installation process for maintenance that was RECEIVED but not APPLIED or ACCEPTED during the installation process.
  2. Transfer the CA Support Online downloaded files to two separate FB 80 sequential data sets. Use one data set to contain the PTFs and the other to contain the HOLDDATA.

    The PTFs and HOLDDATA become accessible to the SAMPJCL maintenance members.

  3. The AW0SEDIT macro was customized in the installation steps. Verify that you still have the values from the install.
  4. Open the SAMPJCL member AW06RECP in an edit session and execute the AW0SEDIT macro from the command line.

    AW06RECP is customized with your JOB statement, CSI location, and zone names.

  5. Customize the AW06RECP SMPPTFIN and SMPHOLD DD statements to reference the FB 80 data sets for the PTFs and HOLDDATA.
  6. Submit AW06RECP.

    The PTFs and HOLDDATA are received.

  7. Open the SAMPJCL member AW07APYP in an edit session and execute the AW0SEDIT macro from the command line.

    AW07APYP is customized.

  8. Submit AW07APYP.

    The PTFs are applied.

  9. (Optional) Open the SAMPJCL member AW08ACCP in an edit session and execute the AW0SEDIT macro from the command line.

    AW08ACCP is customized.

  10. (Optional) Submit AW08ACCP.

    The PTFs are accepted.

    Note: You do not have to submit the job at this time. You can accept the PTFs according to your site's policy.

Note: We recommend that you check for available maintenance; however, you may find that none is available.
