Updating the target library (APPLY)

If the suggested preparation and all phases of the APPLY CHECK are completed, the APPLY job itself should be fairly simple. The APPLY job performs the same checking as the APPLY CHECK and then calls the appropriate system utilities to install all the elements.

Use the SMP/E dialogs or the following sample job to apply the preventive service:

//APPLY    JOB 'accounting info',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//APPLY    EXEC SMPPROC
//SMPCNTL  DD  *
SET      BDY(TGT1)          /* Set to target zone.      */.
APPLY    SOURCEID(PUT0703)  /* Apply this service level */
         GROUPEXTEND        /*  and all requisite PTFs, */
         SELECT(UZ00001     /* Plus two other PTFs.     */
                UZ00002     /*                          */
                AZ12345     /* Plus two APAR fixes.     */
                AZ12346)    /*                          */
                            /*  No check this time.     */
         BYPASS(HOLDCLASS(ERREL,UCLREL)
                HOLDSYSTEM) .
/*

If you have obtained additional APAR fixes or USERMODs, you should either specify each of these SYSMODs in the SELECT operand or, if all applicable APARs and USERMODs are to be installed, specify the APARS and USERMODS operands.
If any of the SYSMODs specified in the SELECT list have already been applied and you want to reinstall them, you must also specify the REDO operand on the APPLY command.
If you want to install preventive service only on selected functional areas of the system, you can also specify the FORFMID operand on the APPLY command, specifying either specific function identifiers (FMIDs) or the name of one or more FMIDSETs.
