Do you know this, or is it just a fear? I would run REPORT ERRORSYSMODS on TGT1 after receiving the latest FULL HOLDDATA. If there is a PTF >And I need to APPLY the product without IPL, because Well, it's not my dog, but I suppose you know what you are doing. >the IPL is scheduled in far future. >It was possible to APPLY the product with no IPL on TGT1 and TGT2, >before new service was downloaded. > >My ideas how to solve it: > >1.

If you have researched the error APAR, decided that you can live with the error, and want the three target zones to be the same, this is the way to go. The result of the bypass is that SMP/E applies the PTF as if there was no ERROR HOLD. IMO, it makes sense to do this ONLY if you have satisfied yourself that the error introduced by the PTF is less of a problem in your environment than the problem that the PE PTF is intended to correct. If it is your desire to have all three target zones to be identical, you might have other problems due to additional received maintenance. If that is your goal, I would recommend applying just the base FMID(s) to TGT3, with BYPASS HOLDERROR if necessary, then run REPORT CROSSZONE to get a list of PTFs to apply to TGT3. Apply those PTFs to TGT3 without BYPASS. TGT3 will be different from TGT1 and TGT2. Research the differences and decide what to do. It may mean that you will need to RESTORE some maintenance from TGT1 and TGT2 Since you are doing this to a live system, it would be safer to clone TGT3 to TGT4 and do your maintenance to TGT4. When you are satisfied with the end result, you can run your APPLY to TGT3. >2. Replace HOLDDATA with older one or just reject newest HOLDDATA. Is it >possible? How?
