ACF2 PTF LU10255 HOLDDATA Clarification - restart

Products

• ACF2 - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

The HOLDDATA in LU10255 states to activate without an IPL to perform the items 1-5 with number 5 being restart ACF2.
Does it mean an actual stop and start of ACF2 is required as there is not a RESTART of ACF2.

Steps to Perform: 

If a site has any user exits that call ACF00RBS, they will need to relink their exits to include the new ACF00RBS module.   
                                                       
1. F LLA,REFRESH                                               
2. F ACF2,NEWMOD(ACF00SVA)                                     
3. F ACF2,NEWMOD(ACF99SVC)                                     
4. F ACF2,NEWMOD(ACF9C000)                                     
5. Restart ACF2                                                

 

Environment

Release : 16.0

Resolution

The "steps to perform" are correct. 
STOP ACF2 and START ACF2 commands are required to implement the restart. 
The LLA refresh and newmods allow for the new modules to be dynamically updated but there are internal control blocks and tables that cannot dynamically be rebuilt.
Hence, the stop/start of ACF2 is required.
