Step 26: Installing PTFs and the SMP/E maintenance to DFSMSrmm

Installing PTFs to DFSMSrmm results in updates to programs in the system libraries such as LPALIB and LINKLIB. These changes are normally implemented by an installation-defined process that would normally include an IPL of the system. If any DFSMSrmm code resident in LPALIB is changed, you must IPL with the CLPA option.

If you implement DFSMSrmm updates without an IPL, you should be aware that:

You cannot do this for programs that are in LPALIB.
A consistent set of DFSMSrmm programs is required to avoid problems.

Recommendation: Stop the DFSMSrmm started procedure. Copy the updated programs into the system libraries. This is usually LINKLIB. Next, refresh or restart LLA, and start the DFSMSrmm procedure.

Note: If any dialog-related parts are updated, your end users should exit ISPF, and re-enter the DFSMSrmm dialog.

See Using DFSMSrmm installation exits for details about maintenance to installation exits such as EDG_EXIT100, EDG_EXIT200, and EDG_EXIT300.
