How to easily determine release and maintenance level of SOLVE:CPT in CICS

Products

• Solve:CPT

Issue/Introduction

Especially after SOLVE:CPT received maintenance, it is productive to quickly confirm what release and service pack of SOLVE:CPT is running in CICS.

 

Environment

OS:  z/OS.

SCPT release:  6.1.

Cause

-

Resolution

Please go into the CICS region, and look for the T09LOAD library.  Browse module T09SP in that library.  One should see something like:

. ......T09SP .......
.....................
..5695PMB01 .........
.d ..569623400 .....
............ .......
FMID C2K6100 SP2

 

In this example, the bottom line shows the FMID C2K6100 (for release 6.1) and service pack level, in this case SP2.

Note:  T09LOAD library is in the DFHRPL concatenation.

Additional Information

Please be aware that the latest Service Pack is SP3 which was created in 2006, so there are many PTFS beyond that.  There is no easy way to determine

the complete active maintenance level, but the MSGUSER does show the eyecatchers for a few key functions--for example:

 T09189I T09CINIT   Product maintenance level SP3  C6107898  
 T09188I T09CINIT   DSECT maintenance level ACDC C6107894  
 T09188I T09CINIT   DSECT maintenance level CEP  C6107894  
 T09188I T09CINIT   DSECT maintenance level HIW  C6107805  
 T09191I T09CINIT   DSECT maintenance level LCA  C6107863  

The C610xxxx value is the eyecatcher in the module.

If assistance is required mapping the eyecatcher to the actual PTF, please contact Broadcom support and we will be happy to provide that information.
