External HOLDDATA is not part of the PTF. The HOLDDATA resides in a separate file and contains both error and FIXCAT HOLDDATA. The error HOLDDATA is used for SYSMODs that have been distributed and later are discovered to cause problems. The FIXCAT HOLDDATA helps identify maintenance that is required to support a particular hardware device, software, or function.
Download the external HOLDDATA from http://ca.com/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.
You can find JCL to download the external HOLDDATA in your SAMPJCL member. Open CLX1HOLD in an edit session and execute the CLXSEDIT macro on the command line. Then, submit the JCL.
Error HOLDDATA
If a SYSMOD has unresolved error HOLDDATA, SMP/E does not install it unless you add a bypass to your APPLY command. You can bypass error HOLDDATA in situations that are not applicable to you. Error HOLDDATA that is 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 Technologies publishes a SYSMOD that resolves the error HOLDDATA, the resolving SYSMOD supersedes the error HOLDDATA. This action lets you apply the original SYSMOD in conjunction with the fixing SYSMOD.
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.
FIXCAT HOLDDATA
CA Technologies provides FIXCAT HOLDDATA to help identify maintenance that is required to support a particular hardware device, software, or function. Fix categories are supplied as SMP/E FIXCAT HOLDDATA statements. Each FIXCAT HOLDDATA statement associates an APAR and its related fixing PTF to one or more fix categories.
