we just started a project to upgrade from z/OS V2.2 to V2.4. Now, late enough,
we find out that with z/OS V2.4 PMA is removed. Up to now we used at least one
of the tables (BCNFMDS) and one of the EXECs (BCN2APRR) to get a description of
the installed FMIDs (We built some EXECs to send ++HOLD infos to the
responsible colleagues, depending on the FMID. In these files also we print the
FMID Description from BCNFMDS) and to create some handy reports about the
installed software (with some additional infos like program number etc.) for a
given CSI.
My question now is how to get this infos in future. Can anyone give us some
hints?
You can use the View -> Products, Features, and FMIDs action for a
software instance defined to z/OSMF Software Management instead of the
PMA Products Applied report. It contains the same information.
FMIDs and descriptions you can get from your CSI. Try using the GIMAPI
program interface to query SYSMOD entries from your target zones and
return their DESCRIPTION subentries.
