I do a similar process. One global zone for a z/os ver.rel, a "maintenance
zone", and then a target zone that matches every active SYSRES in my
environment. One DLIB zone. Maintenance is only actively applied to the
maintenance zone, and when ready to promote that level into use, I have a set
of standard cloning jobs that copies the actual sysres to the new SYSRES with
appropriate renameu (sysres volser is a part of ZFS container names), copy the
SMPE support datasets with renames, and SMPE ZONECOPY from the maintenance zone
to a new target zone named to match the sysres describes, and then appropriate
zone edits to change dddef volser's/pathnames to match the sysres.
This way, you are only every applying maintenance once, you have a target zone
that matches the running sysres in the event a fix needs to be applied, etc.
Accept processing only occurs AFTER the last system in my complex is running
that level of maintenance.

Subject: Separate SMPe environments for maintenance levels
I want to setup separate SMPe environments, say 3 for different maintenance
levels. One matching production then 2 others for maintenance levels "coming
next". My question is, when I what to update my PROD environment with one of
the other maintenance levels, do I need to go thru receive, apply, accept that
I would have done in the "prior" SMPe environment? Or is there a quicker way to
"synch" up the 2 environments?
thanks
Bill
