|
|
<div><p>After you have installed your fixes, you should verify that the
|
|
install was successful.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>You should develop the habit of verifying whether you
|
|
were successful in installing your fixes. In general, if your fixes did not
|
|
install, you need to determine whether the failure occurred during the load
|
|
or apply phase of the install.</p>
|
|
<p>If the system did not IPL, then possibly
|
|
the failure occurred during the load phase. Press Help on the failure message,
|
|
and then press F10 (Display messages in the job log). Look for all escape
|
|
messages that might identify what the problem is. You should fix these errors,
|
|
and then try your request again.</p>
|
|
<p>If the system did IPL, but the PTFs
|
|
did not apply, look at the history log.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Type <span class="uicontrol">GO LICPGM</span> from any command line.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Type option 50 (Display log for messages).</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span>Look for any messages that indicate any PTF activity
|
|
during the previous IPL. </span> <p>Normal PTF processing occurs only
|
|
during an unattended IPL (initial program load) that immediately follows a
|
|
normal system end. </p>
|
|
<p>If you did not specify Y for Perform Automatic IPL
|
|
on the Install Options for PTFs display, verify that the Power Down System
|
|
(PWRDWNSYS) command was run with RESTART(*YES) and that the key lock position
|
|
was at normal. </p>
|
|
<p>If an abnormal IPL occurs, some Licensed Internal Code
|
|
fixes might be installed, but no other operating system or licensed program
|
|
PTFs are applied. You can look at the previous end of system status system
|
|
value (QABNORMSW) to view whether the previous end of system was normal or
|
|
abnormal. </p>
|
|
<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Look for any messages that indicate that there was a failure during
|
|
the IPL or that indicate that a server IPL is required. If you find any failure
|
|
messages, do the following:</span><ol type="a"><li><span>Go to the start-control-program-function (SCPF) job log (WRKJOB
|
|
SCPF).</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>If you performed an IPL, choose the first job that's not active
|
|
and look at the spooled file for that job.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Find the error messages, and determine what caused the error</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Fix the errors and re-IPL the system to apply the rest of the
|
|
PTFs.</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Additionally, you can do the following to verify that your fixes
|
|
have been installed correctly:</p>
|
|
<ol><li>On any command line, type <kbd class="userinput">GO LICPGM</kbd> and press Enter.
|
|
The Work with Licensed Programs display appears.</li>
|
|
<li>Select Option 50 (Display log for messages). The Display Install History
|
|
display appears.</li>
|
|
<li>Fill in the start date and start time on the Display Install History display
|
|
and press Enter. The messages about fix installation are shown.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p><strong>If the fixes were installed successfully,</strong> you see messages
|
|
like the following:</p>
|
|
<pre>PTF installation process started.
|
|
Loading of PTFs completed successfully.
|
|

|
|

|
<p><strong>If the PTFs were installed successfully
|
|
but require a server IPL to activate the changes</strong>, you see messages like
|
|
the following:</p>
|
|
<pre>PTF installation process started.

|
<p>You must perform a server IPL to activate

|
the changes to the <span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />server firmware<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span>. Use the DSPPTF SELECT(*ACTRQD)
|
|
command to determine which PTFs require a server IPL and which IPL source
|
|
(##SERV#T or ##SERV#P) to use when performing the server IPL. See <a href="rzam8fixinstallhmc.htm">Install fixes on systems managed by Hardware Management Console</a> for
|
|
information on performing a server IPL. </p>
|
|
<p><strong>If the cumulative PTF package

|
was not installed successfully,</strong> you see error messages like the following:</p>
