Apply Maintenance

This section describes how to apply individual SMP fixes using the Install Utility.

Note: Individual SMP fixes are only available from the CA Technical Support site.

When you receive SMP fixes, unload them into one of the following:

• A sequential data set
• A member of a partitioned data set

Multiple SMP fixes can be appended into a single data set or member.

Follow these steps:

1. Access the ISPF/PDF Primary Menu.
2. Select the COMMAND option.

   The ISPF Command Shell panel appears.

3. At the command prompt, enter the following command:

   EXEC 'dsnpref.NMC1.CC2DJCL(INSTALL)'
   

4. At the Install Utility title panel, press Enter.

   The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.

5. At the Install Utility Primary Menu panel, enter 8 (Maintain Products).

   The MAINTENANCE Primary Menu panel appears.

6. Enter 3 (Apply individual SMP fixes from a DASD data set).

   The MAINTENANCE DASD Fixes Dataset Name panel appears.

7. Enter the data set name that contains the SMP fixes to be applied and press Enter.
8. Complete the fields on the following MAINTENANCE panels as they open.
9. At the MAINTENANCE JCL Library Creation panel, review your fix JCL library.

   The default library name is:

   dsnpref.NMC1.FIX.DASD.JCL
   

   dsnpref

   The same data set prefix you used for the dsnpref.NMC1.CC2DJCL data set.

   Note: Each time you apply maintenance, use a new output data set. A new data set ensures that the only jobs in your maintenance JCL library are the jobs required for the maintenance you are installing now. To use a new data set:

   • Delete the library by issuing a TSO DELETE command and the library name, at the command prompt.
   • Specify a new data set name.
10. Press Enter to proceed with the generation of the maintenance JCL.

    When the JCL generation is complete, a list of generated jobs and a description of what each member does appears.

11. Note the name of the data set into which the JCL was generated.
12. Submit and run the following jobs in sequence. Do not proceed with any job until the previous job has completed successfully.

    Each job must complete with return code 0 unless otherwise indicated.

    Important! If there is maintenance for additional features, the SMP/E apply job must be run on a system that has the z/OS UNIX file system used during installation and mounted for read/write access.

    F11RCSMP

    SMP/E receives maintenance and lists existing HOLDDATA and SOURCEIDs that are already applied. If a job step returns condition code 04, there is no HOLDDATA present.

    Review the information. For any held APARs that you want to apply, add the correct BYPASS HOLDx operands to the corresponding APPLY control statement for those APARs. Add the operands by manually editing the F12APSMP job that contains the SMP control statements.

    Note: For information about the BYPASS HOLDx operands, see IBM’s SMP/E Commands guide.

    F12APSMP

    SMP/E applies maintenance.

13. Press F3.

    The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.

    If the fix contains maintenance for VSAM data sets (as indicated by HOLDDATA), continue with the procedure to update the VSAM data sets for the regions you have set up. Otherwise, you have finished applying the fix.
