Error description

  • Z/OS 2.5 UPGRADE WORKFLOW (MIGRATION WORKFLOW) TSOREXX DOES NOT
    CORRECTLY IDENTIFY
    ENABLED FEATURES.
    
    PE Information:
     Users Affected: User who are using APAR OA61406 (PTFs:
                     UJ06879, UJ06880, UJ06881).
    When running the discovery step in the z/OS V2.5 Upgrade
    workflow, the discovery program does not properly detect all the
    features that are in use on the target system. As a result the
    steps related to those features are marked as skipped.
    

Local fix

  • You can get around this issue by doing one of the following:
    1) If you run the discovery step, you can still perform the
    skipped steps.
    or
    2) When running the discovery step in the workflow, on the
    review JCL page, EDIT the JCL and change lower case z to upper
    case Z in :
       "if NAME = 'z/OS' & pos(test_feature,feature_list) > 0 then
    do"
    to
      "if NAME = 'Z/OS' & pos(test_feature,feature_list) > 0 then
    do"
    and
      "if pos('z/OS',NAME) > 0 & space(STATUS) = 'E' then do"
    to
      "if pos('Z/OS',NAME) > 0 & space(STATUS) = 'E' then do"
