SMPPUNCH output

To make it easier for you to install cross-zone requisite SYSMODs, SMP/E writes the necessary commands to the SMPPUNCH data set: SET BOUNDARY, RESETRC, and either ACCEPT (for distribution zones) or APPLY (for target zones). Nothing is written to SMPPUNCH for a specified zone in the following cases:

There are no requisite SYSMODs for the specified zone.
NOPUNCH was specified on the REPORT CROSSZONE command.

When a global zone CSI data set name is specified for one or more zones on the ZONES operand, SMPCSI and SMPCNTL DD statements will be included in the SMPPUNCH output. These DD statements will appear before the SET BDY command and must be copied into the users job before the output can be used. When all of the zones in the report are defined in the SET global zone, the SMPCSI and SMPCNTL DD statements will not appear in the SMPPUNCH output.

Figure 1 shows the format of the SMPPUNCH output from the REPORT CROSSZONE command.

globalcsi1: the global CSI data set in which zone1 is defined.
globalcsi2: the global CSI data set in which zone3 is defined.
zone1, zone3: are the names of the zones where the requisites are to be installed.
command: is the command to be used to install the requisites: ACCEPT for a distribution zone, and APPLY for a target zone.
sysmod1, sysmod3: are the IDs of the requisite SYSMODS.
sysmod2, sysmod4: are the IDs of the SYSMODs that contained the CIFREQ data (the causer SYSMODs).
zone2, zone4: are the names of the zones that contained the CIFREQ data (the causer zones).

Note:

If there is more than one causer SYSMOD or causer zone for a selected SYSMOD, a comment is written for each of the causers. These comments refer to the previous SYSMOD in the select list.
If there are requisites for more than one zone, a set of commands is written for each zone.
You can edit the SMPPUNCH output before using it. For example, you may want to install SYSMODs for only one of the zones, or you may want to delete SYSMODs that have not yet been received.
