The problem is surely not related to missing ACCESS commands. I would try to have a look at the VPTFnnnn file: VMFPLCD SCAN * * ENV= VPTF4385 SERVLINK A (EOD If VMFPLCD is unhappy, VMSES will not work.
I tried the VMFINFO command on one of my COR enveloppes too and I get the same error. The reason I can imagine is that VMFINFO understands only installation "tapes", not COR "tapes"; installation tapes can be a real product tape, or a tape with preventive maintenance; they share the same format. > > I am trying to apply a PTF to my z/VM 5.1 system > > I received the PTF from an IBM FTP site, I received three files: > > ftp4385.txt รจ I received this as an ASCII file > > The next two files were defined as binary f 1024 > vlst4385.bin > vptf4385.bin > > Next I FTPed the above files to my z/VM system in the same above format > > After getting them to my test VM system I DETERSE the files using the > following syntax: > 'DETERSE VLST4385 BIN A VLST4385 SERVLINK A' > 'DETERSE VPTF4385 BIN A VPTF4385 SERVLINK A' > > NOTE: No errors here. > > I get errors when I try to install the product envelop. > > When I enter the following command I get the following error message: > 'VMFINS INSTALL INFO (NOMEMO ENV VPTF4385' > > VMFINS2767I Reading VMFINS DEFAULTS B for additional options > VMFINST2760I VMFINS processing started > VMFMHR2737E Tape does not contain a table of contents > VMFINST2760I VMFINS processing completed unsuccessfully > Ready(00100); T=0.15/0.17 12:56:54 > > > When I enter the following command I get the following error message: > 'VMFINS INSTALL INFO (NOMEMO ENV VLST4385' > > VMFINS2767I Reading VMFINS DEFAULTS B for additional options > VMFINS2760I VMFINS processing started > DMSWPD0002E File * * not found > VMFMHR1965E The command, VMFPLC SCAN * * (DISK, failed with return code 28 > VMFINS2760I VMFINS processing completed unsuccessfully > Ready(00100); T=0.20/0.22 12:57:02 > > I followed the directions carefully but I missed something..... > -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
