Description:
Yes. After unPaxing the aggregate maintenance, copy the SMPPTFIN from USS directory to an MVS Dataset with DCB of (FB,80,3120 PDS or Sequential file).
Then use the MVS dataset as the SMPPTFIN DD in the receive job.
Solution:
First download the aggregate maintenance from support.ca.com to a local USS directory.
After the download completes, you should have RO47914.pax.Z file in the USS directory.
UnPax the file into its own directory by using following JCL:
//*** Create new directory name by aggregate maintenance number. *** //MKDIRHFS EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD * PROF MSGID MKDIR '/u/users/esd/zfs/RO47914' MODE(7,5,5) /* //* //UNPAXDIR EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH, // PARM='sh cd /u/users/esd/zfs/RO47914/; pax // -rvf /u/users/esd/zfs/RO47914.pax.Z' //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* After the unPax is done the /u/users/esd/zfs/RO47914 directory should have two files. AREADME SMPPTFIN <<<<< This contains the PTFS to install maintenance.
Enter a / in front of the SMPPTFIN file to invoke Directory List Actions menu.
Select option 10 - Copy Out will invoke the Copy From z/OS UNIX File function.
From z/OS UNIX file:
Name . . . : /u/users/esd/zfs/RO47914/SMPPTFIN
To z/OS UNIX file, data set, or member:
Name . . . . Type allocated MVS Dataset name (FB,80,3120 PDS or Sequential dataset) for example IB85.AGGPTF
The Following options should checked:
/ Confirm copy to existing target / Binary copy <<<<< This option must checked!
In the receive JCL, you can modify the SMPPTFIN DD as follow:
From:
//SMPPTFIN DD PATHDISP=KEEP, // PATH='/u/users/esd/zfs/RO47914/SMPPTFIN' To: //SMPPTFIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=IB85.AGGPTF(RO47914)
