ServerPac and Product ServerPac service level

z/OS Planning for Installation
GA32-0890-02

For ServerPac and Product ServerPac orders, service is integrated with product code according to the following timeline:
  • ServerPac and Product ServerPac are refreshed every month to pick up the most current RSU.
  • All products incorporate high impact or pervasive (HIPER) and PTF-in-error (PE) fixes that are available up to the day your order is built. Because these PTFs are still fairly new at the time your order is built, they are not SMP/E ACCEPTed. They have been APPLYed only, therefore allowing you to back them off of your system using the SMP/E RESTORE command, if necessary. Your order also includes (in its SMP/E global zone) the latest unintegrated service that was available at the time the order was created. In addition, the PTFs that were SMP/E APPLYed but not ACCEPTed are also in the SMP/E global zone.
  • All z/OS® elements and features will incorporate additional service that has been through platform (integration) testing (SOURCEID ZOSV2R1.)
The publication ServerPac: Installing Your Order, which comes with your order, specifies the integrated service level applicable to your order.
Note: As of z/OS V1R13, ServerPac: Installing Your Order is no longer shipped in hardcopy format; the information is available in PDF format on a DVD that also includes the program directories.

Your ServerPac order will also include unintegrated service that was available when your order was built.
