SMP/E maintenance and upgrade scenarios

During maintenance and upgrades, only a subset of the PARMGEN KCIJ* jobs need to be rerun to refresh the read-only product execution runtime libraries and the product-specific RKANDATV library. The steps that you need to take depend upon the maintenance or upgrade scenario you are implementing.

At a minimum, the KCIJPLOD load job must be run. The jobs that need to be regenerated or resubmitted in addition to the KCIJPLOD job vary depending upon the scenario:

  1. Applying SMP/E maintenance to an existing RTE with no new configuration changes.
  2. Applying SMP/E maintenance to an existing RTE with new configuration changes, but use or run with IBM-supplied configuration defaults.
  3. Applying SMP/E maintenance to an existing RTE with new configuration changes and use new features or override the IBM-supplied configuration defaults.
  4. Upgrading the SMP/E environment to new FMID versions and upgrade an existing RTE with no new configuration changes.
  5. Upgrading the SMP/E environment to new FMID versions and upgrade an existing RTE with new configuration changes, but use or run with IBM-supplied configuration defaults.
  6. Upgrading the SMP/E environment to new FMID versions and upgrade an existing RTE with new configuration changes and use new features or override the IBM-supplied configuration defaults.

For scenario 1, only the KCIJPLOD job is required. For all the other scenarios, the KCIJPCFG job is also required. For 3 and 6, you must edit the RTE profile.
