Apply Maintenance

CA Support Online has maintenance and HOLDDATA published since the installation data was created. When the maintenance process is complete the product is ready to deploy.

To apply maintenance

  1. Check CA Support Online and download any PTFs and HOLDDATA published since this release was created. If the base release was created recently, no PTFs or HOLDATA will have been published yet.
  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 HOLDDATA.

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

  3. The TBESEDIT macro was customized in the installation steps. Verify that you still have the values from the base install.
  4. Open the SAMPJCL member TBE6RECP in an edit session and execute the TBESEDIT macro from the command line.

    TBE6RECP is customized with your JOB statement, CSI location, and zone names.

  5. Customize the TBE6RECP SMPPTFIN and SMPHOLD DD statements to reference the FB 80 data sets for the PTFs and HOLDDATA.
  6. Submit TBE6RECP.

    The PTFs and HOLDDATA are received.

  7. Open the SAMPJCL member TBE7APYP in an edit session and execute the TBESEDIT macro from the command line.

    TBE7APYP is customized.

  8. Submit TBE7APYP.

    The PTFs are applied.

  9. (Optional) Open the SAMPJCL member TBE8ACCP in an edit session and execute the TBESEDIT macro from the command line.

    TBE8ACCP is customized.

  10. (Optional) Submit yourhlq.SAMPJCL member TBE8ACCP.

    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.

Note: We recommend that you check for available maintenance; however, you may find that none is available.
