Issue/Introduction
Applying maintenance to Database Management Solutions for Db2 for z/OS after RECEIVE of current PTF maintenance, Error HOLDDATA and CARS assignments.
When executing the APPLY with SOURCEID(CAR*) inclusion, this will APPLY all maintenance to current CARS maintenance level.
How to code APPLY syntax to install maintenance to a specific CARS maintenance level instead of to the current CARS maintenance level?
Resolution
Recommend the following APPLY CHECK syntax example replacing <target zone below> and augmenting the SOURCEID
values to the desired CARS maintenance required:
//SMPCNTL DD *
SET BOUNDARY( <target zone> ) .
APPLY CHECK
SOURCEID(
CAR20*,
CAR21*,
CAR22*,
CAR2301
CAR2302
CAR2303
)
GROUPEXTEND(NOAPARS NOUSERMODS)
BYPASS ( HOLDSYSTEM ) .
Please note that there may be PTFs marked in error so higher level
maintenance will be pulled in to resolve the PTFs marked in error.
Once the maintenance has been verified via the APPLY CHECK syntax, remove the
CHECK syntax to complete the SMP/E APPLY process.
