The second Post SMPE workflow job fails with: 

GIM42401I    THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS WERE SPECIFIED ON THE EXEC STATEMENT FOR GIMSMP: 'PROCESS=WAIT'.
 SET BDY($instance-CA_ZONE_NAME_TARGET) .                                      
GIM20301S ** THERE IS A SYNTAX ERROR IN THE COMMAND AT COLUMN 11.          

Environment

Release : 15.1

Component : DATACOM/DB

Cause

The error is because of this statement:
  SET BDY($instance-CA_ZONE_NAME_TARGET) .  
 
The workflow variable "$instance-CA_ZONE_NAME_TARGET"  was not replaced.  

This is done in the first workflow step:              
              1  Define Software Instance Variables

Resolution

To resolve:

1. Run the first Post Workflow job again. Confirm it ran it ran successfully.
2. Click SAVE your JCL changes before you submit the next deployment job.
3. Submit the second Post Workflow job and now the job completes successfully because all of the variables were replaced by JOB 1. 

When going through the Deployment  'Checklist Steps' for any steps that have a 'SAVE'. consider clicking SAVE to insure that changes are saved in case the deployment process is interrupted before all of the Deployment steps are completed.
