SMP/E updates the information about the SYSMODs that have been applied. Remember, the target zone reflects the contents of the target libraries. Therefore, after the utility work is complete, and the target libraries have been updated, the target zone is updated to accurately reflect the status of those libraries.

• A SYSMOD entry is created in the target zone for each SYSMOD that has been applied. Element entries (such as MOD and LMOD) are also created in the target zone for those elements that have been installed in the target libraries.
• SYSMOD entries in the global zone are updated to reflect that the SYSMOD has been applied to the target zone.
• BACKUP entries are created in the SMPSCDS data set so the SYSMOD can later be restored, if necessary.
