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 that has been published since this release was created. If the base release was created recently, no PTFs or HOLDATA 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 BRNSEDIT macro has been customized in the installation steps. Verify that you still have the values from the base install.
  4. Open the SAMPJCL member BRN6RECP in an edit session and execute the BRNSEDIT macro from the command line.

    BRN6RECP is customized with your JOB statement, CSI location, and zone names.

  5. Customize the BRN6RECP SMPPTFIN and SMPHOLD DD statements to reference the FB 80 data sets for the PTFs and HOLDDATA.
  6. Submit BRN6RECP.

    The PTFs and HOLDDATA are received.

  7. Open the SAMPJCL member BRN7APYP in an edit session and execute the BRNSEDIT macro from the command line.

    BRN7APYP is customized.

  8. Submit BRN7APYP.

    The PTFs are applied.

  9. (Optional) Open the SAMPJCL member BRN8ACCP in an edit session and execute the BRNSEDIT macro from the command line.

    BRN8ACCP is customized.

  10. (Optional) Submit yourhlq.SAMPJCL member BRN8ACCP.

    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.
