I'm with Ant on this one, don't even bother cleaning up the old version, simply create a new SMPE environment for your new CICS release and eventually delete the old one when all regions are converted. My CICS v5.2 environment creation, once the download from ShopZ was completed, took about half an hour.

It does nothing to the tzone/dzone themselves or to the (presumably separate) VSAM clusters that contain those Tzone/Dzone's. You can delete the VSAM clusters either before or after, it doesn't matter, since the UCLIN only touches the global zone. Before doing that, have you applied/ accepted all maintenance for the version of CICS you're trying to get rid of? So there's nothing relevant left in the SMPPTS, SCDS, MTS, LTS, STS? In any event, simply deleting the tzone/dzone doesn't lose all information about the CICS you're trying to get rid of. The Global zone will still have product and feature entries. You've already been told how to do it, by Craig Pace. Code a usermod with ++DELETE MCS for the CICS fmid's and receive/apply/accept that usermod (yes, accept a usermod! This is about the only situation I would do so). Lastly, why do you have a global zone for all versions of CICS? When I install the next version of CICS, I create an entirely new SMP/E environment, with its own global zone. I don't see any advantage to your approach. Ant. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mainframe Mainframe Sent: Thursday, 9 July 2015 11:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Product Remove from z/OS Hello, Thanks for suggestion. 1) We already have new version of CICS running under same global zone along with older CICS version still running. 2) My idea is to remove older CICS version from my z/OS systems. 3) We already have weekly back, So we are good in this case. 4) cics-fmids was not actual FMID, that was just for reference, I used in email. 5) As per your suggestion, I understood that , If I use SET BDY(GLOBAL). UCLIN. DEL DZONE(CIC31D) . ENDUCL. and same with target SET BDY(GLOBAL). UCLIN. DEL DZONE(CIC31T) . ENDUCL. Doing this will remove all entries from my global zone and later I can delete target and distribution CSI attached to these two CIC32T and CIC31D. Or do I have to delete these CSI dataset first using IDCAMS and then use above operand to delete both of these zones. Please suggest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
