Apply Maintenance

This section describes how to apply individual SMP fixes using the product's 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. Ensure that the dsnpref.LX10.CC2DLINK data set is in your system LNKLST.

   For example, include the following statement in the system LNKLST SYS1.PARMLIB(PROGxx):

   LNKLST ADD NAME(LNKLST00) DSNAME(dsnpref.LX10.CC2DLINK)
   

2. Access the ISPF/PDF Primary Menu, and select the COMMAND option.

   The ISPF Command Shell panel appears.

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

   EXEC 'dsnpref.LX10.CC2DJCL(INSTALL)'
   

   The Install Utility title panel appears.

4. Press Enter.

   The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.

5. Enter 5.

   The MAINTENANCE Primary Menu panel appears.

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

   The MAINTENANCE DASD Fixes Data Set Name panel appears.

7. Enter the data set name that contains the SMP fixes to be applied, and press Enter.

   The fixes are listed.

8. Review the list, deselect any fixes you do not require, and press Enter.

   The maintenance software generates the members in the dsnpref.LX10.CNTL data set. When generation is complete, a list of generated members and a description of what each member does appears.

9. Submit and run the following jobs in sequence. Do not proceed with any job until the previous job has completed successfully. Each job returns condition code 0 unless otherwise indicated.

   My1RCSMP

   Performs an SMP/E RECEIVE on the 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 My2AKSMP and My3APSMP jobs that contain the SMP control statements.

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

   My2AKSMP

   Performs an SMP/E APPLY CHECK on the maintenance to identify conflicts.

   My3APSMP

   Performs an SMP/E APPLY on the maintenance.

   y

   Is a character that is used to identify the members generated from a fixes data set.

10. 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.
