Scenario SMPE04: Upgrading an existing runtime environment with no configuration changes

If you apply maintenance that contains upgraded FMIDs but does not contain features that require configuration changes, you only need to refresh the work libraries (to update the version) and load the read-only files from the SMP/E target libraries to the runtime libraries.

About this task

If you are upgrading in place (that is using the same target libraries and the same runtime product libraries, follow these instructions. Otherwise, follow Scenario SMPE05: Upgrading an existing runtime environment with configuration changes but using IBM-supplied configuration defaults and change the high-level qualifiers as appropriate.

Note: If you are upgrading it to V6.3.0 Fix Pack 6 and you have a V6.2.3 z/OS hub monitoring server with SDA enabled and you elected to retain the previous behavior (no granular controls), follow the steps in Scenario SMPE05: Upgrading an existing runtime environment with configuration changes but using IBM-supplied configuration defaults. If you are upgrading a monitoring server at a version prior to V6.2.3 to V6.3.0 FP6, you must alsog follow Scenario SMPE06: Upgrading an existing runtime environment and overriding defaults. In the first case, the load job needs to be refreshed to add the REPROKFA step to the load job. In the second scenario, new VSAM libraries need to be allocated, so the KCIJPALO and KCIJPLOD jobs need to be refreshed as well.
Perform an upgrade with no configuration changes involves the following steps:
  1. Refreshing the work libraries.
  2. Submitting the jobs that complete the setup of the RTE.
At a minimum, you need to copy the SMP/E target libraries to the read-only runtime libraries (KCIJPLOD) and the updated work libraries to the user libraries (KCIJPCPR and KCIJPW2R). You might need to run additional jobs, depending upon product-specific requirements spelled out in ++HOLD data.

Procedure

  1. Refresh the work libraries.
    1. From the Workflow main menu, select Set up PARMGEN work environment for an RTE.
      The following message is displayed:
      KCIP@MSG ---------------- PARMGEN MESSAGES --------------------------
      Command ===>                                                         
                                                                           
      While configuring an existing RTE profile, you have asked to         
      navigate to the KCIJPCFG option to review or make changes to the     
      KCIJPCFG job, which was run with highest condition code RC= 00000    
      on 2017/07/27. In most cases, if you change any KCIJPCFG             
      parameters, you will have to rerun the KCIJPCFG job and certain      
      subsequent PARMGEN configuration jobs.                               
                                                                           
      Press ENTER to continue with KCIJPCFG changes.                       
                                                                           
      Press F3 to abort.                                                   
    2. Press Enter to continue.
      The first setup panel (KCIP@PG1) is displayed.
    3. Step through the presented panels by pressing Enter to accept the current configuration values. (On the Include Products in this PARMGEN RTE panel, enter y to confirm the current choices.)
      After you confirm the current product selection, you are prompted to provide a name for the backup copy of the RTE profile.
    4. Provide a name for the backup, then press Enter.
      The KCIJPCFG JCL is displayed.
    5. Review the notes, then submit the job.
      The KCIJPCFG job creates new RTE profiles that contains the new parameters, then runs the KCIJPPRF job. The KCIJPPRF job updates the interim libraries and merges the current values from the backed up profile into the new profiles. Return to the main Workflow panel. Wait until both KCIJPCFG and KCIJPPRF have completed before proceeding to the next step. No return code is displayed on the Workflow main panel until both jobs have completed.
  2. Submit the jobs to complete the setup of the RTE.
    1. Select Submit batch jobs to complete PARMGEN setup.

      The Submit Batch Jobs to Complete PARMGEN Setup menu is displayed.

      Select option 1 to SUBMIT the composite jobs in WKANSAMU for SYSA RTE.       
      Tip: Review the SUBMIT commands in the KCIJPSUB composite job.

    2. Submit the following jobs and any other jobs indicated by a Yes in the REQ column.
      KCIJPLOD
      This required job copies members of the target libraries that were installed by SMP/E to the read-only RK* libraries.
      KCIJPW2R/KCIJPW1R
      These jobs (Option 12) copies the WK* work output libraries to the respective production RK* runtime libraries. If you run either of these jobs, run KCIJPCPR to back up the RK* production libraries. KCIJPW2R is run by default when the composite submit job KCIJPSUB is run. KCIJPW2R replaces all RK* members with members from WK*. It will leave non-PARMGEN managed members in RK* libraries. KCIJPW1R deletes all RK* members except for the ones that are added in the IBM provided WKANSAMU(KCI$IW2R) and user defined WCONFIG(KCI$XW2R) exclude lists, and then copies WK* members to RK* libraries. You must add members they want saved to their RTE WCONFIG(KCI$XW2R) member.
      You might need to submit one or more of the following jobs:
      • KCIJPSEC (if upgrade introduces changes in security) to create security-related members (load modules, encryption key, and other elements) based on the product security requirements
      • KCIJPALO (if the upgrade introduces new data sets are introduced)
      • KCIJPUSP and KCIJcUSS (if upgrade introduces changes in z/OS® UNIX System Services requirements)
      • KCIJPLNK (if OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS is installed)
      • KCIJPSYS (if upgrade introduces new started tasks or nodes)
