Creating the Software Instance Validation report

To generate the Software Instance Validation report, use the Maintenance Reports > Software Instance Validation action that is provided for software instances.

1. To display a table where you can access this action, complete one of the following steps:
   1. Click Software Instances on the Software Management page.
   2. Select Software Instances from the Switch To menu provided on the Deployments page and the Products page.
   3. In the Software Instances view, invoke the View > Products, Features, and FMIDs action.
   4. In the Products view, invoke the View > Software Instances action.
   5. Create or re-display one of the following maintenance reports: Missing Critical Service, Missing FIXCAT SYSMODs, End of Service, or SYSMOD Search.
   6. Invoke the action to create, modify, or copy a deployment. As you navigate through the deployment checklist, several opportunities are provided for you to work with software instances. For example, when you navigate to the Select the software instance to deploy step and the Check for missing SYSMODs step, a list of software instances is displayed.
2. In the table, select the software instance that contains the CSI data sets to be validated. You can select only one software instance.
3. From the Actions menu or context menu, select Maintenance Reports > Software Instance Validation.
   To create the report, z/OSMF might need to collect information from different systems. In which case, you might be prompted for additional information such as your login credentials for the system or the HTTP proxy information. If prompted, provide the requested information.
