We have a few products that were installed into the z/OS 1.11 GLOBAL zone, and
since we completed our z/OS 1.13 upgrade about 6 months ago would like to
"move" them into the z/OS 1.13 GLOBAL zone. The Target and DLIB zones for each
product resides in their own VSAM clusters, and they each have their own SMPxxS
datasets, so ZONEEXPORT -> ZONEIMPORT appear to be significant "overkill". But
SMP/E Reference seems to suggest that merely defining the ZONEINDEX entries for
the Target and DLIB zones in the z/OS 1.13 GLOBAL zone might be insufficient.
It's not immediately clear what effect, if any, un-ACCEPTed PTFs might have on
the "move", and there may be one or more USERMODs (that we "never" ACCEPT). So
what appears to be the main concerns are:
1) Will the absence of any "knowledge" of the USERMOD in the z/OS 1.13 Global
zone (RMID is kept only in the Target and DLIB zones, right?) adversely affect
a future need to RESTORE the USERMOD (e.g., for subsequent maintenance APPLY)?
It would seem that (re-)RECEIVE of the USERMOD would not be a problem in any
event, since we would normally update the REWORK (and PRE, if necessary) value
anyway.
2) Would the absence of the APPLYed but not ACCEPTed product PTFs from the
z/OS 1.13 SMPPTS adversely affect a future ACCEPT of them using the z/OS 1.13
GLOBAL zone? We normally PURGE the PTFS at successful ACCEPT time.
Pointouts of any other potential "gotchas" would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
