Use the "Update center" to update a system configuration according to the customization data of a service instance. Updating the system configuration is performed in two steps, namely, "Prepare updates" and "Commit updates". Both steps are performed in the "Update center".
If the service to be set up has cross-scope dependencies, the customization of the service affects both system level and sysplex-wide services and you have to perform the update steps on two z/OS systems:
When you open the "Update center" for a service with cross-scope dependencies, the "Update center" panel has a slightly different layout. It is split into two tabbed panels ("System" and "Sysplex") enabling you to perform the necessary steps for both systems without having to leave the "Update center".

Services that have cross-scope dependencies cannot be updated if msys for Setup Version 1 Release 4 or earlier is running on any of the affected systems. In such a case, you will receive an error message when you attempt to update the service and the "Update center" will not be displayed. | |||||
