Re: SMPE BYPASS(HOLDSYS,HOLDERR)

Yes I have run APPLY with BYPASS(HOLDERR), but only when the "HOLD(s)" would not have impacted the system.   Just to be safe, do the following: (a) Backup your *whole* SMP/E environment (CSI, GLOBAL, TLIB and DLIB zones, and all their associated SMP/E datasets) to a GDG (+1) entry, using PGM=ADRDSS

Re: SMPE BYPASS(HOLDSYS,HOLDERR)

Yes, but that's not what OP was asking. Based on the information provided, I'm not seeing any need to bypass HOLDERROR on the apply. Some other PTFs in the apply stream might have unresolved PE's however. If so, the OP will have to decide whether the PE will have an impact on their environment b

Re: SMPE BYPASS(HOLDSYS,HOLDERR)

Since it will be doing a delete, SMPE cannot restore the PTF. So you need to back up the SMPE files and target files in order to do a restore. Then you can bypass the hold and apply the PTFs. On Fri, Feb 14, 2020 at 2:22 PM Paul Jodlowski wrote: > > Has anybody ever ran SMPE apply with bypass(h

Re: Convert a Metal C control block mapping to Assembler DSECT ?

I suspect they would not take an APAR (although of course it turns out I do not actually speak for IBM). I suspect they would cite compatibility concerns if they changed it. Yeah, yeah, I know, could be controlled by an option. I don't think EDCDSECT is IBM's highest priority. Yes, many control

Has anybody ever ran SMPE apply with bypass(holderr)? I need to install PTF UA92779 (this is needed to install DB2 v12) And the only way to get this PTF installed is with bypass(holderr).

I would assume that Gord is using the EDCDSECT program which is legally part of the XLC compiler. It assembles the DSECT -- can be either by itself or part of some larger assembly -- and massages SYSADATA to produce a C-legal struct. The result -- particularly for older IBM DSECTs -- is often sp

Re: Tape dataset tracking

Peter, After doing some additional checking, RMM does work as I thought. RMM leaves the data set record around even if the data set expired. RMM only deletes the data set record if the volume is picked up as a scratch volume and reused. That would mean the data set you are looking for has be

Hi John, Thank you for your comment. One of our key differentiators is that our product allows you to save to cloud any kind of data from the mainframe, whether it's data sets (VSAM, PS, PDS, SMF) or databases (e.g. DB2). We can utilize any public and/or private cloud as secondary storage, costing
