Perform SMP/E ACCEPT for the prerequisites

SMP/E ACCEPT the prerequisites to facilitate an easy backout of the fix, if required. Note that once accepted, you cannot backout the accepted prerequisites.

This step can be skipped if there are no prerequisites, or if there is a reason to not make a prerequisite permanent.

You can accept the prerequisites by submitting the job below. Add a job card and modify the parameters to meet your site's requirements before submitting.

//*
//* Change #globalcsi to the data set name of your global CSI.
//* Change #dzone to your CSI distribution zone name.
//*
//ACCEPT   EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,REGION=0M
//SMPCSI   DD DISP=OLD,DSN=#globalcsi
//SMPCNTL  DD *
   SET BOUNDARY(#dzone) .
   ACCEPT SELECT(

          ) REDO COMPRESS(ALL) BYPASS(HOLDSYS,HOLDERROR).
//*

Perform SMP/E RECEIVE and APPLY for the fix

SMP/E RECEIVE and APPLY the fix.

You can do this by submitting the job below. Add a job card and modify the parameters to meet your site's requirements before submitting.

//*
//* Change hlq to the high level qualifier used to upload the fix.
//* Change (2x) #globalcsi to the data set name of your global CSI.
//* Change #tzone to your CSI target zone name.
//*
//RECEIVE  EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,REGION=0M
//SMPCSI   DD DISP=OLD,DSN=#globalcsi
