SystemPac service level

For SystemPac orders, service is integrated with product code according to the following timeline:
  • SystemPac is refreshed every month to pick up the most current RSU.
  • All products incorporate high impact or pervasive (HIPER) and PTF-in-error (PE) fixes that are available up to the day your order is built. Because these PTFs are still fairly new at the time your order is built, they are not SMP/E ACCEPTed. They have been APPLYed only, allowing you to back them off of your system using the SMP/E RESTORE command, if necessary. Your order also includes (in its SMP/E global zone) the latest unintegrated service that was available at the time the order was created. In addition, the PTFs that were SMP/E APPLYed but not ACCEPTed are also in the SMP/E global zone.
  • All z/OS® elements and features will incorporate additional service that has been through platform (integration) testing (SOURCEID ZOSV2Rn, where n is the release number).
  • The publication SystemPac Installation Guide, which comes with your order, specifies the integrated service level applicable to your order.
    Note: As of z/OS V1R13, SystemPac Installation Guide is no longer shipped in hardcopy format; the information is available in PDF format on a DVD that also includes the program directories.
