Issue/Introduction

Job AXPOR02 comment says:

//*      The AD 10.0 or 11.0 MUF must be running before executing
//*      this job! This is called the Source MUF.

and

//*      The AD 15.1 MUF must be running before executing this job!
//*      This is called the Target MUF.

Then, it says

//*  The Source MUF for the CA using product must be stopped so its
//*  database(s) can be closed before this process begins.

If the source MUF needs to be up, what is this about it 'must be stopped'?

Environment

Release : 15.1

Component : Datacom/AD

Resolution

What you have seen is an error in the JCL. This sentence should read:

//*  The using product being migrated must be stopped so its
//*  databases can be closed before this process begins.

In other words, while both the "old" MUF and the "new" MUF must be running for the AXPOR* job to complete successfully, the applications using the MUF must be shut down so that this job can have exclusive control of the databases. You will also need to update the JCL for these applications so that they reference the "new" loadlibs.
