How to find the open SVC zaps to install on z/OS after a MVS upgrade?

Resolution

1.  Follow the below steps in sequence.

Run the following JCL against the new z/OS system LPALIB://DUMPT    EXEC PGM=AMASPZAP                   
//SYSLIB   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=YOUR.NEW.LPALIB    
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                        
//SYSIN DD *                                   
DUMPT IFG0194A IFG0194E                        
DUMPT IGC0001I IFG0196W                        
DUMPT IGGDADSM IGGDAU01                        
DUMPT IGC00020 IFG0201R       

The CSECT level information is needed to determine the corresponding hook in the next step.

2.  Refer to the SVC ZAPs FOR Z/OS 2.2 - 2.3 - 2.4 - 2.5 - 3.1 article to determine which hook is required to use as zap for MVS.

3.  If the corresponding MVS module level is not found, then contact Broadcom support with a new case opened and provide the documentation with the result of the DUMPT job created by the step one. Broadcom support team will create the missing zaps to permit the upgrade.

4.  Refer to the z/OS compatibility matrix  which shows the current zaps needed under the product name.
