Issue/Introduction

The errors below are seen when applying maintenance for CA ACF2 v16:

GIM38201E ** THERE IS A MODID ERROR FOR MOD ENTRY ACF0AENT IN SYSMOD SO16143.

GIM38201E ** THERE IS A MODID ERROR FOR MOD ENTRY ACF0ATAM IN SYSMOD SO16143.                                            

GIM31901I    SYSMOD SO16143 DOES NOT SPECIFY LT01074 ON THE PRE OR SUP OPERAND. LT01074 IS THE RMID FOR MOD ACF0ATAM     
              THAT IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED. 

Resolution

The PTF attempting to be applied (SO16143) is a prerequisite for the PTF that is already applied to the system (LT01074). Verifying the status of SO16143 on the system showed the PTF was in a received state.

The likely cause of the error was that PTF LT01074 was applied with BYPASS(PRE) specified on the APPLY. This causes any prerequisite PTFs to not be applied. When the prerequisite maintenance is ready to be applied, it will fail with GIM38201E/GIM31901I messages since it is not a higher PTF than what has already been applied. 

To resolve this issue, the PTF that was applied by bypassing the prerequisite maintenance will need to be removed. It can then be reapplied without BYPASS(PRE) specified so any prerequisite maintenance can be applied before it. 

Additional Information

The resolution also applies for other PTFs different than SO16143.
