I appreciate the responses from the list on this question.
I wanted to respond and perhaps get further clarification on a couple of
them:
Shmuel Metz suggested "run a cross-zone comparison to see whether the
old copy has service not present in the new. The capability has been in
SMP/E for years."
I hadn't been aware of this capability and I followed the SMP/E command
manual "Example 2: Using REPORT CROSSZONE with Zones Controlled by
Different Global Zones" to set this up, but the results were not
encouraging in that this is all the output I got:
CROSSZONE REQUISITE SYSMOD REPORT FOR APPLY
ZONE___ __________REQUIRES__________ __________CAUSER____________
NAME FMID SYSMOD RECEIVED SYSMOD FMID ZONE
TRG8611 JDB8817 UK16403 NO UK16402 HDB8810 TRG8703
TRG8703 HDB8810 UK14170 NO UK13836 HDB8810 TRG8611
So, unless I'm missing something, this isn't giving me what I want.
Kenneth Tomiak's suggestion of "define the old target zone to your new
global (Serverpac SMPREP leads you to do this) and try to print holddata
for the maintenance not on your old target zone" is similar to something
I tried. But it's quite a manual process:
1. List all action, etc. HOLDDATA for each global CSI.
2. Manipulate output to identify just the PTFs/APARs with HOLDDATA.
3. Identify the new HOLDDATA by sorting, diffing the PTF lists to remove
the common PTFs/APARs in both lists.
4. List the HOLDDATA for just the "new" PTFs/APARs that are being
installed onto the system.
Is there a better way to do this?
