Trying to install latest maintenance into Gen 8.6 for z/OS, but see this error message

GIM54502E ** ALLOCATION FAILED FOR CSSLIB BECAUSE THERE IS NO DD STATEMENT IN THE JCL AND NO DDDEF ENTRY IN TARGET ZONE ****
             
 GIM28301E ** ALLOCATION FAILED FOR CSSLIB, WHICH IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO PROCESS LOAD MODULE TIRABRTB. THE SYSMOD IS   LU10165
 GIM22601I    APPLY PROCESSING FAILED FOR SYSMOD LU10165

Environment

 Release: 8.6

Resolution

PTF LU03643 is  introduced to add missing DDEF (CSSLIB) required for the REST PTF's. As it can be observed it was a pre-requisite  to one of the REST PTF's LU03409.

The PTF LU03643, has  HOLDDATA, which provides a Sample JCL to add the DDEF entry to CSI in the specified Zone. 

Execute the JCL, in case if  missed to perform and  re-apply the PTF's

In case if you have  chosen to bypass the HOLDDATA, then following error message appears 

GIM42001I    THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS FOR SYSMOD LU03643 WERE NOT SATISFIED, BUT WERE IGNORED BECAUSE THE BYPASS OPERAND WAS SPECIFIED. PROCESSING CONTINUES

BYPASSED HOLD REASON REPORT FOR APPLY CHECK PROCESSIN

 LU03643 adds the SCLBSID DDDEF entry.

 If CSSLIB DDDEF is missing then the JCL has to be customized to add the missing DDDEF entry to the CSI.

Regarding the dataset to add CSSLIB , dataset looks like

ADD DDDEF(CSSLIB)          
    SHR DA(SYS1.CSSLIB) 

By adding CSSLIB the error will be resolved and can continue with the installation
