Assuming this is a true routine hung of the SSVT and not hooking SSI, to get
to the subsystem requires that the SSIB points to your subsystem and the SSOB
is a function you requested.  I wouldn't even bother checking as it would
require serious failures in MVS to get there. If hooking SSI, I would just
pass it on.

I remember code I saw that checked for MVS, and if not issued a WTO (SVC 35),
which quite probably would cause other trouble to an OS that might not
properly understand the SVC.

Re: SMP/E

2024-03-30 Thread Steely.Mark
Found the example that you provided. The execution that was performed was just 
the upgrade command by itself. 
Then the job was executed that performed the received and it failed. 

Then the job was executed as describe in the example as the first command then 
the receive command after the 
Upgrade command and that worked. I must have misunderstood how to use the 
UPGRADE command. 

Thanks for the assistance. 

Thank You

I'll ask if you did the UPGRADE in the same run as the RECEIVE process.  The 
example from the z/OS SMP/E Commands manual shows the UPGRADE command as part 
of the same run.

The following is from the SMP/E command manual.

SET BDY(ZOSTGT).
 UPGRADE.
 BYPASS(HOLDSYS)
 CHECK.

In this example, the UPGRADE command indicates incompatible changes may be made 
to SMP/E data sets.  If UPGRADE is not specified, then SMP/E stops any 
processing that would make incompatible changes to SMP/E data sets.  In this 
example, the APPLY command would very likely fail if the UPGRADE command were 
not first run.  However, once the UPGRADE command is run for a particular zone, 
then all SMP/E commands are authorized to make incompatible changes to all 
SMP/E data sets in that zone.

I did perform the upgrade command on the global and target zone and nothing 
happen. The SMP/e level stayed the same and the receive still failed with the 
same error.

Just issue the UPGRADE command. IIRC FIXCAT support was added to SMP/E around 
2008.
Your global zone must have been created with a release of SMP/E before that.

You might use the steplib as the one used to create the One, so it upgrades
to same level. Which is level are you in?
