Am I missing something obvious here or is there a flaw in the REPORT MISSINGFIX
process? In the following example, a PTF was available and received for a PE
PTF but wasn’t included in the APPLY JCL.
HOLD MISSING HELD ____RESOLVING SYSMOD_____
FIX CATEGORY FMID CLASS APAR SYSMOD NAME STATUS RECEIVED
_______________ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ ______ ________
IBM.Coexistence.z/OS.V2R1
HBB7780 AA37696 HBB7780 UA68522 HELD YES
AA42901 HBB7780 UA70510 HELD YES
HOLD HELD ____RESOLVING SYSMOD_____ HOLD
FMID SYSMOD APAR NAME STATUS RECEIVED CLASS
_______ _______ _______ _______ ______ ________ _______
HBB7780 UA68522 AA42661 UA70290 GOOD YES PE
UA70510 AA43965 UA72595 GOOD NO PE
This is saying that UA68522 is required for toleration with 2.1, but that it is
PE and the fixing PTF is UA70290, and is received so can be applied. Correct?
(I’m not worried about the other PTF, UA70510)
And yet, here is the SMPE input generated by the job. It will correctly receive
the missing UA72595 PTF (which I’m not bothered about anyway). It correctly
comments out the PE PTFs UA68522 and UA70510 but doesn’t include the fixing
PTFs UA70290 and UA72595. Surely this is wrong. The omission of UA70290 caused
us a problem at the weekend as the first attempt to IPL a z/OS 2.1 system into
the sysplex failed because it identified there was a system without UA68522
applied.
RECEIVE ORDER(
CONTENT(ALL) /*
CONTENT(PTFS(

*/
SET BDY(MVST100 ).
APPLY CHECK
SELECT(
/* IBM.Coexistence.z/OS.V2R1
/* UA68522 */
UA69223
/* UA70510 */
UA70874
