How do I run the SMP/E MISSINGFIX report for BMC FIXCAT categories? |
The SMP/E REPORT MISSINGFIX command can be used to identify PTFs for particular fix categories that are missing in your Target zone. Before running the MISSINGFIX report, you must first download the latest Enhanced HOLDDATA file from the ftp://ftp.bmc.com/bmc/holddata directory (See Knowledge Article 000281489 - How do I obtain Enhanced HOLDDATA from BMC?), then Receive the Enhanced HOLDDATA into your SMP/E environment (see Knowledge Article 000201496 - How do I Receive Enhanced HOLDDATA from BMC?). To run the report, use JCL as shown below. This example shows how to identify all required maintenance for z/OS V2.4 that is not yet applied in the BMC0TZN zone (using the BMC.TargetSystem-RequiredService.z/OS.V2R4 Fix category). A full list of BMC FIXCAT categories can be found at : https://docs.bmc.com/docs/is/fixcat-data-811102256.html This produces a report as shown below: During SMP/E RECEIVE command processing, SMP/E translates fix category values into source IDs and assigns them to the resolving (fixing) PTFs identified on the HOLDDATA. You can use the fix category values as source IDs when selecting a set of PTFs to be applied. Example: If you have a Target zone named BMC0TZN, you can install all required fixes for z/OS V2.4 that have already been received by using the following command: SET BDY(BMC0TZN). APPLY SOURCEID(BMC.TargetSystem-RequiredService.z/OS.V2R4) CHECK. |
