If you do not want to keep the SYSMODs from your service tape in the SMPPTS until you are ready to install them, you should ensure that SMP/E has at least the exception SYSMOD information contained on that tape. This is important, as the information could affect some of those SYSMODs that are present on the SMPPTS and prevent inadvertent application of a PE-PTF. To process only the exception SYSMOD data, the following commands can be used:

SET      BDY(GLOBAL)        /* Process global zone.     */.
RECEIVE  HOLDDATA           /* Receive HOLDDATA.
                               Note no SOURCEID is
                               assigned to HOLDDATA.    */.
