Apply Maintenance

CA Support Online may have maintenance and HOLDDATA that have been published since the installation data was created. The following steps describe the procedure to apply maintenance.

Follow these steps:

  1. Check CA Support Online and download any PTFs and HOLDDATA published since this release was created.
  2. Transfer the 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 yourHLQ.CAI.SAMPJCL maintenance members.

  3. The AAXSEDIT macro was customized in the installation steps. Verify that you still have the values from the base install.
  4. Open the SAMPJCL member AAX6RECP in an edit session and execute the AAXSEDIT macro from the command line.

    AAX6RECP is customized with your JOB statement, CSI location, and zone names.

  5. Customize the AAX6RECP SMPPTFIN and SMPHOLD DD statements to reference the FB 80 data sets for the PTFs and HOLDDATA.
  6. Submit AAX6RECP.

    The PTFs and HOLDDATA are received.

  7. Open the SAMPJCL member AAX7APYP in an edit session and execute the AAXSEDIT macro from the command line.

    AAX7APYP is customized.

  8. Submit AAX7APYP.

    The PTFs are applied.

  9. (Optional) Open the SAMPJCL member AAX8ACCP in an edit session and execute the AAXSEDIT macro from the command line.

    AAX8ACCP is customized.

  10. (Optional) Submit yourHLQ.CAI.SAMPJCL member AAX8ACCP.

    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.
