Generating a service request using the RECEIVE ORDER Command

You can order specific PTFs by name and you can order PTFs that resolve specific APARs. The package that results from such an order is tailored to your SMP/E environment and contains the PTFs you requested, plus any requisite PTFs if those requisites are not already present in your environment.

You can use the SMP/E dialogs or the following sample job:

   //jobname JOB ...
   //RECEIVE EXEC PGM=GIMSMP
   //SMPCSI DD DSN=SMPE.GLOBAL.CSI,DISP=SHR
   //SMPNTS DD PATH='/u/smpe/smpnts/',PATHDISP=KEEP
   //SMPOUT DD SYSOUT=*
   //SMPRPT DD SYSOUT=*
   //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
   //SMPCNTL DD *
     SET BOUNDARY(GLOBAL).
     RECEIVE SYSMODS HOLDDATA
             ORDER(                            /* Place an order for service */
               ORDERSERVER(ORDRSRVR)
               CONTENT(
                 PTFS(UQ12345,UQ98765)         /* Get these PTFs, and any..  */
                     )                         /* ..requisites..             */
               FORTGTZONES(ZOS14)              /* ..for this target zone     */
                 ).
   /*
