Maybe you can use the following method.

Edit table BCNFMDS
Export this table to a dataset.
Extract FMIDS from SMP LIST FEATURE and use the dataset to translate FMIDs to a

FWIW I always ran an ADDRSDMP (or whatever it is called) of *all* SMP/E
datasets to a GDG entry before I updated a CSI. That ensured I could
recover a complete SMP/E config if my updates went 'belly up' on
testing. This also allowed updating and test-verifying systems with e.g.
the latest ACF2 vers
As mentioned before, I've created a SHARE requirement and an RFE to have the

Usermods won't be accepted unless you specifically request it. If your check
didn't mention it, you're fine to go without the restore.

Well, once I needed to restore the CSI and my target SYS1.NUCLEUS dataset. If I
didn't have a full backup of everything, I wouldn't have had the nucleus
dataset to restore. In short, you're never going to know what you need to
restore, so it's a good idea to have everything backed up.

I haven't used the backup in quite a while, however a colleague with less
experience ended up having to do a full reinstall of a ServerPac starting
from the Restore Datasets step because the policy wasn't followed.

It is a common practice to back up everything before the accept.
In my case, the entire SMP/e ENV is on one volume, so I just use df/dss.
Any method that works for the backup is acceptable.

Not exactly. A lot depends upon how you do things, but backing up just a

Backups are good yes. SMP/e doesn't have a CSI backup function. IDCAMS will
work for the CSI's but you might want to use a process to backup the entire CSI
environment, target datasets, dlib datasets and CSI dataset (and others) using
a product like DFDSS or FDR.

But first!
So, before running an accept w/o check, I should backup my CSI?
Should I do that "within" SMPE? Or can I just use idcams to backup my CSI
cluster?
