Found the example that you provided. The execution that was performed was just the upgrade command by itself. Then the job was executed that performed the received and it failed.
Then the job was executed as describe in the example as the first command then the receive command after the Upgrade command and that worked. I must have misunderstood how to use the UPGRADE command. Thanks for the assistance.

I'll ask if you did the UPGRADE in the same run as the RECEIVE process. The example from the z/OS SMP/E Commands manual shows the UPGRADE command as part of the same run. The following is from the SMP/E command manual. SET BDY(ZOSTGT). UPGRADE. BYPASS(HOLDSYS) CHECK. In this example, the UPGRADE command indicates incompatible changes may be made to SMP/E data sets. If UPGRADE is not specified, then SMP/E stops any processing that would make incompatible changes to SMP/E data sets. In this example, the APPLY command would very likely fail if the UPGRADE command were not first run. However, once the UPGRADE command is run for a particular zone, then all SMP/E commands are authorized to make incompatible changes to all SMP/E data sets in that zone.

The SMP/e level stayed the same and the receive still failed with the same error. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Tom Marchant Sent: Friday, March 29, 2024 5:20 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SMP/E CAUTION!

IIRC FIXCAT support was added to SMP/E around 2008. Your global zone must have been created with a release of SMP/E before that. -- Tom Marchant On Fri, 29 Mar 2024 21:59:49 +0000, Steely.Mark <steely.m...@ace.aaa.com> wrote: >I recently received this 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.
