I've just upgraded my Panvalet software to release 14.6. Now I need to apply any maintenance that has been issued since the base release. Is there a cumulative group of PTFs available for download?

Issue/Introduction

I've just upgraded my Panvalet software to release 14.6. Now I need to apply any maintenance that has been issued since the base release. Is there a cumulative group of PTFs available for download? 

Environment

Panvalet 14.6

Resolution

No, there is not a cumulative group of PTFs available for download, however you can download all the PTFs at one time via CSO.

3. Click on link in email; you will have to log on to CSO if not still logged in 

• Tailor your local FTP job using the 'Alternate FTP' information and run to download the zip package to your local USS environment, usually named scart0.zip 

     Note: 'Preferred FTP' does not provide a zip file, only individual files which CAUNZIP cannot use 

• Tailor and run your local CAUNZIP job to breakout the zip package and create SMPPTFIN within your local USS environment 

• Run local SMP/e APPLY which uses the files created by CAUNZIP 

    – SMP/e will ignore any PTFs that are already applied so there is no reason to be selective, just APPLY them all. 

Additional Information

CAUNZIP is easy to use because it automates separating files (PTFs and informational PTFs) and preparating for SMP/e processing. 

For CAUNZIP, FTP information and sample JCL, refer to link:
