After you have performed a SYSMOD RECEIVE and APPLY, you want to “accept” the elements into the distribution libraries for backup. However, this should be done only after you are satisfied with the performance and stability of the elements of the SYSMOD. Once you ACCEPT a SYSMOD, you cannot RESTORE its element to a previous level. The SMP/E ACCEPT command updates the distribution libraries so they are available for backup of any future SYSMODs.

For more information about the ACCEPT command, refer to Accepting the SYSMOD into the distribution libraries.
