Issue/Introduction

Sometimes it is needed to know the PTF level of the Datacom PC CALL module DBPCCPR  that got loaded via CAIRIM on the LPAR.  

Environment

z/OS

Datacom version 15.x

Resolution

After applying maintenance to module DBPCCPR, CAIRIM must be run for the new version of the code to take effect. Refer to Datacom/DB job BDRIM01 or Datacom/AD job AXRIM01.

To verify that the execution of CAIRIM has placed the updated DBPCCPR into effect, Datacom DBUTLTY REPORT MEMORY=MVS report function can be run before and after the CAIRIM execution to compare the assembly date of DBPCCPR between the two runs. The post-CAIRIM execution should have a later assembly date.  

Example partial MEMORY=MVS report output:

MODULES IN COMMON MEMORY       MODULE    REL    DATE        TIME   RMID      FMID

CROSS MEMORY  PC=PROD  15.        DBPCCPR  15.1   20200511 14.21  SO11513 CABDF10

In above example DBPCCPR got delivered via SO11513.

Additional Information

There is no need to cycle the Datacom Multi-User (MUF). Any executing code in the old DBPCCPR continue executing in the old one but the next call is done in the new.
