Special Instructions


After applying or removing this PTF, Collection Services and any
applications that use the performance collector APIs QPMWKCOL and
QPMLPFRD must be ended and then restarted for the change to take
effect.

1. End any applications using the performance collector APIs QPMWKCOL
and QPMLPFRD.
Note: Make sure that jobs QPMACLCT and QPMASERV are no longer
running.

2. End Collection Services by entering the following on the command
line:
ENDPFRCOL FRCCOLEND(*YES)

3. Restart Collection Services by entering the following on the
command line:
STRPFRCOL

4. Restart any applications using the performance collector APIs
QPMWKCOL and QPMLPFRD.

********************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED
PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.
********************************************************************

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI64738 :
=================================================

If you are not impacted by the function added, no action is required.

If you need this function, you must follow these instructions to enable
it.

To update the QAPMDISK file in libraries where an existing version of
the file already exists, follow these directions after applying or
removing this PTF:

For each existing library you wish to update:
1) If the collection library you are updating is your current
collection library, the CRTPFRDTA job must be ended.
ENDPFRCOL FRCCOLEND(*YES)

2) Move each of the following files, if it exists, to a backup library.
Note: migrating logical file members will not work if you just rename.
MOVOBJ OBJ(col-lib/QAPMDISK) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(your-backup)
MOVOBJ OBJ(col-lib/QAPMDKIX1) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(your-backup)
MOVOBJ OBJ(col-lib/QAPMDKIX2) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(your-backup)
MOVOBJ OBJ(col-lib/QAPMDKIX3) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(your-backup)
MOVOBJ OBJ(col-lib/QAPMDKIX4) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(your-backup)
MOVOBJ OBJ(col-lib/QAPMDKIX5) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(your-backup)
MOVOBJ OBJ(col-lib/QAPMDKIX6) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(your-backup)

3) Create a copy of the new QAPMDISK file from QSYS into your
collection library.
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QAPMDISK) FROMLIB(QSYS) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +
TOLIB(col-lib)

4) Copy all existing members from the original QAPMDISK file in your
backup library to the new file in the collection library.
CPYF FROMFILE(your-backup/QAPMDISK) TOFILE(col-lib/QAPMDISK) +
FROMMBR(*ALL) TOMBR(*FROMMBR) MBROPT(*REPLACE) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)

5) Create a copy of each of the following QAPMDKIX1, QAPMDKIX2,
QAPMDKIX3, QAPMDKIX4, QAPMDKIX5, and QAPMDKIX6 logical files that you
moved in step 2 in your collection library. This will remap the
based-on physical file to QAPMDISK in the collection library and copy
all the logical file members.
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QAPMDKIX1) FROMLIB(your-backup) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +
TOLIB(col-lib) DATA(*YES)
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QAPMDKIX2) FROMLIB(your-backup) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +
TOLIB(col-lib) DATA(*YES)
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QAPMDKIX3) FROMLIB(your-backup) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +
TOLIB(col-lib) DATA(*YES)
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QAPMDKIX4) FROMLIB(your-backup) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +
TOLIB(col-lib) DATA(*YES)
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QAPMDKIX5) FROMLIB(your-backup) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +
TOLIB(col-lib) DATA(*YES)
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QAPMDKIX6) FROMLIB(your-backup) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +
TOLIB(col-lib) DATA(*YES)

Note: you should delete your saved logical files in the backup library.
These logical files are still based on the QAPMDISK file in your
collection library and will prevent normal deletion of existing
collections.

6) Restart performance data collection if you ended it in step 1 above.
STRPFRCOL

The instructions above are based on only those files and file
relationships shipped with the operating system. It is your
responsibility to handle any additional files, tables, and access paths
that are dependent on files replaced by this PTF. You can determine if
any additional dependencies exist by examining the output of the
following command:
DSPDBR FILE(your-lib/QAPMDISK)

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI63092 :
=================================================

After applying or removing this PTF the Collection Services must be
cycled for the change to take effect.

1. To cycle Collection Services enter the following on the command
line:
STRPFRCOL CYCCOL(*YES)

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI55653 :
=================================================

After applying or removing this PTF the Collection Services collector
job (QYPSPFRCOL) must be cycled for the change to take effect.

1. To cycle Collection Services enter the following on the command
line:
STRPFRCOL CYCCOL(*YES)

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI56821 :
=================================================

After applying or removing this PTF the Collection Services collector
job (QYPSPFRCOL) must be ended and restarted for the change to take
effect.

1. To end Collection Services enter the following on the command
line:
ENDPFRCOL FRCCOLEND(*YES)

2. To start Collection Services enter the following on the command
line:
STRPFRCOL

Before restarting Collection Services, you should consider other
functions that may be using data provided by Collection Services. Such
functions may be impacted when Collection Services is ended. Error
messages may be produced and the affected functions may need to be
restarted.

Examples of functions that are dependent on Collection Services include
Management Central monitors and applications that use the performance
collector APIs QPMWKCOL and QPMLPFRD. If applications are using the
performance collector APIs, you will find server jobs QPMASERV and
QPMACLCT active on your system.


Default Instructions

THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
