External HOLDDATA is not part of the PTF. It resides in a separate file. It is commonly used for SYSMODs that have been distributed and later are discovered to cause problems.
Download the external HOLDDATA from CA Support to a DASD file, and allocate the file to the SMPHOLD DD statement. To take care of the external HOLDDATA, receive it into your SMP/E environment. SMP/E receives the HOLDDATA from CA-supplied jobs.
If a SYSMOD has an unresolved hold error, SMP/E does not install it unless you add a bypass to your APPLY command. You can bypass an error hold in situations that are not applicable to you. Error holds that are not applicable to you can include a problem that happens only with a hardware device that you do not have or in a product feature that you do not use.
When CA publishes a SYSMOD that resolves the hold, the resolving SYSMOD supersedes the hold error. This action lets you apply the original SYSMOD in conjunction with the fixing SYSMOD.
A special HOLDDATA class called ERREL exists. We have determined that the problem fixed by the SYSMOD is more important than the one that it causes. We recommend that you apply these SYSMODs.
The only manual task is running a REPORT ERRSYSMODS. This report identifies the following:
SMP/E identifies the SYSMOD to apply to correct the situation.
