Issue/Introduction

Is there a utility that can be run against Datacom to determine the PTF maintenance level (RMID) of each module? 

Environment

Release : 15.1

Component : Datacom 

Resolution

There are a few ways to determine the PTF level of Datacom modules:

1. During the Datacom MUF startup, message DB00248I is issued for each module loaded  which shows the PTF level for each module:
   
   DB00248I - PARM PGMDT=20151231, DBMUFPR  2021/05/27-1535 15.1  LU0137
   
   
2. Run Common Services program CAMODID against the Datacom load library which reports on what PTFs are applied to each module. Sample JCL:
   //TSO       EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=0M               
   //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*                                
   //SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*                               
   //SYSTSIN  DD *                                       
    CAMODID DSNAME(datacom.CAAXLOAD) DETAIL   
   /*                                                    
   
   
3. See Knowledge Base article 235047 - View Product Maintenance Details for Broadcom Load modules. It provides an interactive way to review your load libraries and PTF levels.
