If the PTF is marked applied, then SMPE is pretty certain that every piece of it was installed where it should be. If the SMPE is marked failed, I would expect SMPE to back out any pieces that were installed before the piece that failed leaving you in the same condition as if you had never tried to install the PTF.
You shouldn't be applying updates to a running system. Your target DDDEFs should point to copies created for this purpose. If the datasets to be expanded are copies of the active ones then they are obviously not cataloged in the normal search order and others have identified the RACF tool that allows you to rename them. -----Original Message----- From: Klein, Kenneth Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 7:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: What's the difference in SMP/E between the SOURCEID's called RSUnnnn and PUTnnnn ??? I ran with the smp control cards I listed earlier. I got a lot of D37's (11) but many recovered after the compress. Now 5 datasets are still 100% full so I can't tell if the module got loaded or not but probably not. How can I expand these bad boys? I can iebcopy to a new dataset and rename but that scares me. I get a message that tells me the dataset is in use somewhere else, and one is, with the same name on a different volume. Would a rename at that point mess up the master catalog that is in use on the other currently running resvol? Probably. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
