SMP/E commands

z/OS system installation and maintenance

Three commands– RECEIVE, APPLY, and ACCEPT– drive the SMP/E process for installing z/OS® elements or service.

Additional SMP/E commands include:

  • LIST command: When you need an all-inclusive hardcopy listing of information about your system
  • REPORT commands: To check and compare the zone contents and generate command output that can be used to update your system
  • The SMP/E RECEIVE command
    The RECEIVE command allows you to take a SYSMOD that is outside of SMP/E and stage it into the SMP/E library domain, which begins to construct the CSI entries that describe them. This staging allows them to be queried for input into later processes. More recently, the source can be electronic from a Web site, although usually it comes from a tape or even a third-party vendor media.
  • The SMP/E APPLY command
    The APPLY command specifies which of the received SYSMODs are to be selected for installation in the target libraries. SMP/E also ensures that all other required SYSMODs (prerequisites) have been installed or are being installed concurrently as well as in the proper sequence.
  • The SMP/E ACCEPT command
    When a SYSMOD is installed into its target library, and you have tested it, you then accept the change through the ACCEPT command. This step takes the selected SYSMODs and installs them into the associated distribution libraries.
