Over one-hundred PTFs were received using CSM. Using z/OSMF Software Update to install Recommended PTFs only a small subset gets installed.
CSM had not received the CA RS and HIPER ++ASSIGN files into the product's Global zone for association with the selected PTFs being received.
This condition was corrected by having CSM perform the Upgrade CA RS SMP/E process and specify 'Check Only'.
This allowed the Global to be updated with the recommended SOURCEIDs for the PTFs in question, and a successful APPLY
for all the previously missing PTFs using z/OSMF to Apply recommended Service.
There are three types of Software Updates via z/OSMF. The first type is Corrective updates where you specify specific PTFs / APAR names.
The second is Recommended updates based on Vendor supplied SOURCEIDs (CAR*, HIPER, RSL*,RSU*,SECINT, PRP).
The third is Functional Updates based on Vendor supplied functional SOURCEIDs (example: CA-TargetSystem-RequiredService.product.version, etc.).
