Issue/Introduction

 

Need explanation about the holddata of the LU06367

Verify that the Vantage KNGED009 module has been assembled with the     
correct JES2 SHASMAC libraries for the current z/OS version.            
                                                                        
If it is not, make sure to reassemble it before this PTF is applied     
to prevent ARM JES2 Exit6 processing from being automatically disabled  
by Vantage due to the mismatched level.                                 
                                                                        
The level can be checked by looking at the MIT eye catcher in the       
KNGED009 load module. It should look like this:                         
                                                                        
 "MIT KNGJES2Xz/OS x.x"                                                 
                                                                        
where x.x is the version of z/OS that the module was assembled for.  

Environment

Release : 14.1

Component : Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Resolution

In case a user system is running on a z/OS version older than 2.5, for instance, z/OS 2.4, once the LU06367 is applied, it is recommended to reinstall the JES2 exit as the SAMUM04 usermod, which can be done using the KNGED009 member of the CCTUSAMP library.

This job assembles and links a new copy (matching the current z/OS version) of the KNGED009 load module into CCTULOAD.
This is described in more detail in the "SYSPROG - Configure Extended ARM Support for JES2" section of the article:
