NEWCOPY of SYSVIEW load modules

Issue/Introduction

Running with SYSVIEW 17.0, having a question regarding the ‘NEWCOPY’ of the load modules.

Currently trying to ‘NEWCOPY’ the ‘GSV*’ programs most responses are NORMAL but getting the errors: 

‘NOT FOR HOLD’ and ‘CANNOT NEWCOPY’. 

Might the same errors be encountered when updating the SYSVIEW run-time library with 17.0 modules and doing a NEWCOPY of "GSV*" programs?

Environment

SYSVIEW 17.0 - z/OS supported releases - 

Resolution

About the NEWCOPY: 

SYSVIEW programmatically issues NEWCOPY for the programs during startup, except for GSVCGSVS because that is the one that does the NEWCOPYs. 

That is why the instructions only say to NEWCOPY GSVCGSVS.

The others may be in use while SYSVIEW is up.
