Problem summary

    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * HOD install on z/OS only                                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * During the post-SMP/E install of PTFs, shell script          *
    * hod11ptf.sh is required to be executed to extract the tar    *
    * files onto the file system. The script provided no indicated *
    * that it ran successfully so the admin was never certain HOD  *
    * PTFs were installed.                                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • The shell script was modified to include checks for successful
    extraction and displays messages if not. At the conclusion of
    the extractions, the HODVersion utility is run to show the
    version that is now on the system.
    
    Fix is scheduled for HOD 11.0.14 Refresh pack
    

Temporary fix
