I read about the upgrade command and still don't know if I can safely use it.
My SMPE is at 36.105, presumably to get upgraded by the latest refresh which is
installed but not yet activated (I wanted to do that together with z/Secure).
So if I run the UPGRADE command on my target (and probably later on my DLIB
zone), can I then still use my current level of SMPE on those zones? There
won't be any level lower than 36.105.
And another question: I am at z/OS 2.3. Am I supposed to install z/Secure V240
over RACF 2.3? (We got the product download links from IBM, so I didn't have
any choice but to use V24.) Documentation is abysmal.
Thanks in advance, Barbara
Barbara,
UPGRADE applies to the internal structures inside the zone. You should
have had some HOLDDATA from SMP/E to run the UPGRADE command, but it's
been a few years since I've seen it. Backup your target zone before
running UPGRADE just to be safe, but I've never had an issue with UPGRADE.
Regards,
Tom Conley
