How to fix them? 

Environment

Release :  

Component : CA Disk Backup and Restore

Resolution

If the SMP/E command used for the APPLY looks like the following: 

APPLY PTFS  GROUPEXTEND(NOAPARS NOUSERMODS)                                                                                        
   FORFMID (                                                                                                                        
    CCUWC50   /* CA Disk Backup and Restore */                                                                                      
           )                                                                                                                        
   BYPASS(HOLDSYS(ACTION AO DEP DOC) HOLDCLASS(ERREL)) .                                                                            
       

in order to fix these SMP/E errors, it is necessary to locate all the SYSTEM HOLD reasons in the several messages GIM35965I and add them to the HOLDSYS() operand used in the  APPLY command.

In this case, based on the errors reported before, the HOLDSYS() operands should be changed as follows:  

BYPASS(HOLDSYS(ACTION AO DEP DOC RESTART IPL ENH DYNACT MULTSYS EXIT) HOLDCLASS(ERREL)) .
