Re: SMP/E error in my z/OS 2.1 Serverpac OS212016.

2016-01-13 Thread John Eells
So...I infer, perhaps incorrectly, that the RESTORE job is also doing a 
ZONEMERGE for the SDSF zone.  If that's the case, it has to do special 
processing to make sure that CIFREQ entries are correctly merged with 
SYSMOD entries that actually represent installed FMIDs.  Can someone 
confirm that that's what's happening?


If so...in z/OS V2.2 we are adding function to SMP/E to handle this 
directly, and as the SMP/E FMID has not been updated since z/OS V1.13 we 
can ask ServerPac Development to look at using this function, when 
available.


Here's the announcement text:

z/OS V2.2 SMP/E is designed to enhance ZONEMERGE command processing. A 
new CHECK operand for the ZONEMERGE command is intended to identify 
conditions that would prevent a successful ZONEMERGE. Also, ZONEMERGE 
processing is now designed to both enforce and preserve conditional 
requisites while merging target and distribution zones. This new 
function, planned to be available first quarter 2016 with the PTF for 
APAR IO23466, is intended to help you merge SMP/E zones for different 
products in some cases in order to consolidate product sets and simplify 
overall software management.

updates which were already done the previous run and also removing all

I checked with someone in ServerPac design, and this is indeed what's 
up.  They will look at the alternatives for solving this, including the 
one below.

FYI, there is another set of DEL for HQX7790 a bit further down for the MVSD100 
zone.

This is the answer from IBM; just in case anyone else might be experiencing 
this:

Due to recently added IFREQs, the ServerPac RESTORE job is not getting
generated correctly, causing the errors. ServerPac development is
currently in the process of fixing the RESTORE job generation error. As
a workaround, you can RESTART the job from step UCLIN, removing all
updates which were already done the previous run and also removing all 
occurences of statement DEL SYSMOD(HQX7790) CIFREQ( (UK96644,UK96643)).

Subject: SMP/E error in my z/OS 2.1 Serverpac OS212016.

When I google HQX7790 I find this same error in a note dated August 11, 2015 
with subject SDSF z/os 2.1 - z/OS upgrade

  SET BDY(MVST100) .
GIM20501ISET PROCESSING IS COMPLETE. THE HIGHEST RETURN CODE WAS 00.


UCLIN .

  DEL  SYSMOD(HQX7790) CIFREQ(
   (UI90005,UI90004)
  ) .
GIM25501IENTRY HQX7790 WAS UPDATED BY UCLIN.


  DEL  SYSMOD(HQX7790) CIFREQ(
   (UK96644,UK96643)
  ) .
GIM25301E ** SYSMOD ENTRY HQX7790 WAS NOT DELETED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST.
GIM25601ITHE SPECIFIED ENTRY WAS NOT UPDATED BECAUSE OF AN ERROR DURING
 UCLIN PROCESSING.


ENDUCL .

This is the first run of the restore job. And, yes, the job as generated has a 
redundant DEL which will fail if the first one works.

Now, I get to manually muck with this UCLIN and try to restart the restore job 
at this step.
Since this was after 501.16 MINUTES EXECUTION TIME, I'm not real interested in 
fixing the skeleton, regenning the job and starting from the top.

Well, if they'd just *alternate* the ADDs with the DELETEs, they'd all work.
