When you upgrade to a new version of SCLM (or apply a PTF), if
you have two or more partitions running different versions of SCLM
accessing the same SCLM project, you must:
- Ensure the SCLM project definition load modules are assembled
using the earliest version of the SCLM macros.
- Upgrade the various partitions as required.
- After all partitions have been upgraded to use the new version
of SCLM, assemble the SCLM project definition using the new SCLM macros.
Note: - You cannot utilise the features in a new version of SCLM (or PTF)
until all the partitions accessing the SCLM project have been upgraded
to use the new version of SCLM.
- In the past, if you had different partitions running different
versions of SCLM, you may have experienced problems when upgrading
SCLM. To get around this, a process was developed to upgrade an existing
SCLM project definition to that of the version of SCLM you were running.
However, if you assembled the SCLM project definition using z/OS® 1.9 macros and then attempted
to access them using a z/OS 1.8
(or earlier) version of SCLM, SCLM generated the message "FLM81204
- - ERROR INITIALIZING THE PROJECT DEFINITION".
