I think I have this information correct. My notes are in my suite case waiting to board a plane.
At the Share presentation yesterday on the new features in SMP/E 3.5 it was stated that we need to install a toleration PTF in order to continue receiving maintenance once the FIXCAT function is implemented in SEPTEMBER 2008. Without the PTF on our SMP/E 3.4 or 3.3 systems, our Receives will fail due to the new keywords >From the Share session 2841 SMP/E Simplifying PSP Buckets and Other goodies FIXCAT type ++HOLDs will be included with ERROR ++HOLDs: - Delivered with all existing IBM product and service offerings . Included in the same file (SMPHOLD) FIXCAT HOLDDATA is incompatible with prior releases of SMP/E - Prior SMP/E releases (V3.3 and V3.4) will ignore FIXCAT HOLDs when discovered in SMPHOLD data sets. Coexistence APAR IO07480 (PTF UO00702 for V3.4) is required to silently ignore the FIXCAT HOLDs Coexistence APAR IO07480 (PTF UO00700 for V3.3) is required Coexistence service is highlighted in WSC Flash 10639 - FIXCAT HOLDDATA is RECEIVEd only if the UPGRADE command for SMP/E V3.5 has been run. . Failure to run the UPGRADE command will generate a single message - GIM58903W SMP/E COULD NOT PROCESS A ++HOLD FIXCAT MCS BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE MADE A CHANGE TO THE GLOBAL ZONE THAT CANNOT BE PROCESSED COMPLETELY BY PRIOR LEVELS OF SMP/E. USE THE UPGRADE COMMAND TO ALLOW SMP/E TO MAKE SUCH CHANGES. It was mentioned that these changes to the ++HOLD statements will take place at the end of September and the maintenance is needed so the older versions of SMP/E will ignore the new ++HOLD parameters.
