Steps for synchronizing the database templates when you install a PTF that has new templates and does not require an IPL

About this task

A PTF does not require an IPL if it includes new function and all of the changed modules reside in LINKLIB.

Before you begin: You must have installed the PTF.

Perform the following steps to ensure that all copies of the database templates are at the same level.

Procedure

Run IRRMIN00 specifying PARM=UPDATE.
IRRMIN00 writes the new templates from IRRTEMP2 to the database.

______________________________________________________________
Run IRRMIN00 specifying PARM=ACTIVATE.
IRRMIN00 replaces the existing in-storage templates with the ones on the database. You do not need to re-IPL.

The ACTRDS section of SYS1.SAMPLIB member RACJCL illustrates how to invoke IRRMIN00 specifying PARM=ACTIVATE.

______________________________________________________________
If the PTF updated the dynamic parse data set (IRRDPSDS), invoke the IRRDPI00 command specifying UPDATE.
You must ensure that the dynamic parse data set and the in-storage templates are at the same level. Most installations invoke IRRDPI00 automatically during an IPL to accomplish that. Because you do not need to re-IPL, you must invoke IRRDPI00 yourself. The ACTRDS section of SYS1.SAMPLIB member RACJCL illustrates how to invoke IRRDPI00 specifying UPDATE. For more information about dynamic parse, see Dynamic parse and IRRDPI00.

Results

When you are done, both the in-storage templates and those on the database are the latest level, the level that is shipped in IRRTEMP2. The dynamic parse data set is at the latest level.
