Example 3: Restoring PTFs using the GROUP operand

SMP/E for z/OS Commands
SA23-2275-01

In Example 2, when you wanted to restore the three PTFs, you specified all three in the select list. In a simple case like this, that was very easy; in practice, however, many PTFs are related to one another, and it may not be easy to determine which PTFs must be restored in order to remove the bad one. The GROUP operand can be used to assist in determining this. The following commands can be run to determine which PTFs must be restored to restore UZ00003:
SET      BDY(TGT1)          /* Set to target zone.      */.
RESTORE  S(UZ00003)         /* Restore this one PTF     */
         GROUP              /* plus any related PTFs,   */
         CHECK              /* in check mode this time. */.

After running these commands, the various SMP/E reports can be used to determine that PTFs UZ00001, UZ00002, and UZ00003 should be restored. You can then determine the correct action: restore all, or accept some and then restore.
