CA Support Online may have maintenance and hold data that have been published since the installation data was created.

To apply maintenance

  1. Check CA Support Online and download any PTFs and hold data 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 hold data.

    The PTFs and hold data become accessible to the yourhlq.SAMPJCL maintenance members.

  3. Edit and submit the SDMSEDIT macro.

    The yourhlq.SAMPJCL members SDM6RECP, SDM7APYP, and SDM8ACCP are customized.

  4. Customize the SDM6RECP SMPPTFIN and SMPHOLD DD statements to reference the FB 80 data sets for the PTFs and hold data.
  5. Submit SDM6RECP.

    The PTFs and hold data are received.

  6. Submit SDM7APYP.

    The PTFs are applied.

  7. (Optional) Customize and submit yourhlq.SAMPJCL member SDM8ACCP.

    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.
