How to determine if APAR PI93525 (PTF UI55005) and succeeding PTFs are applied?

How To


Summary

There is currently a FLASH about PI93525/UI55005 installation issues: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm10729727
However some times it is not obvious whether UI55005 is applied.

Objective

Determine if UI55005 is already applied  (or needs to be applied) along with additional HIPER PTFs that are related:

    PTF             APAR

  UI56464    PI98960

  UI59216     PI98362 

  UI58124     PH01229

 UI58650      PH02407

Environment

IWS z/OS 9.3

Steps

(1) check if your 9.3 controller has a STEPLIB.   If it does, and that library includes load modules EQQMCTOP and EQQNMTOP use that

     library for step 3 below (skip step 2).   Otherwise  proceed to step 2.

 (2) Determine which LINK LIST (LNKLST) library contains the IWSz modules:

       TSO ISRDDN

       LPA

      MEMBER EQQMCTOP

      Reply YES to  WARNING message

      Scroll through the panels to see which library is the FIRST one in LINK LIST that contains EQQMCTOP.  Proceed to step 3.

(3)  Using the library that was found either via step 1 or step 2:

       Browse the library in ISPF.   Select module EQQMCTOP

      Do a FIND for EQQMCADE

      If EQQMCADE is NOT found it means UI55005 is not installed.

      If EQQMCADE is found, do a REPEAT find (f5)  you should see either:

       EQQMCADE 18/04/05 11.52.57 UI55005      (this means UI55005 is installed but UI58124 is NOT installed)

       or

     EQQMCADE 18/08/02 04.58.22 UI58124      (this means both UI55005 and UI58124 are installed).

     If UI55005 is not installed, proceed to step 4

     While still browing load module EQQMCTOP - go back to the top then do FIND EQQMC3UP.  Then do REPEAT FIND (F5)

     You should see either:

    EQQMC3UP 18/04/05 11.55.36 UI55005   (this means UI55005 is installed but UI59216 is NOT installed)

    or

   EQQMC3UP 18/10/18 04.57.31 UI59216     (this means both UI55005 and UI59216 are installed )

      Next PF3 out of EQQMCTOP and select EQQNMTOP

     Do Find EQQNMTO2 then do a REPEAT FIND (F5)

     You should  see either:

     EQQNMTO2 18/04/05 11.56.47 UI55005    (this means UI55005 is installed but UI56464 is not installed)

     or

     EQQNMTO2 18/06/08 06.14.58 UI56464  (this means both UI55005 and UI56464 are installed)

     Next go back to the top of EQQNMTOP and do a Find EQQNMLST then do a REPEAT FIND (F5)

     You should see either:

    EQQNMLST 18/04/05 11.56.39 UI55005  (this means UI55005 is installed but UI58650 is not installed)

   0r

     EQQNMLST 18/09/03 09.01.18 UI58650  (this means that both UI55005 and UI58650 are installed 

(4) At this point you should know whether or not the PTFs listed  in the OBJECTIVE section above are installed in the IWSz 9.3 environment

     that you checked.   Note that if you are going to be using a DIFFERENT IWSz 9.3 environment when you next start the controller

     either because maintenance has been applied to IWSz  9.3 or to z/OS  (or both) you will need to check the maintenance levels in this

     new environment also using the same procedure (steps 1-3 above).    Then you can check the following "decision box"

 

    Current IWSz 9.3                                  New IWSz 9.3 / z/OS           Next ACTION

     UI55005 not installed                         UI55005 not installed          No ACTION NEEDED with regards to the FLASH

 

     UI55005 not installed                         UI55005 installed                 Follow the FLASH BEFORE starting the controller ;

                                                                                                                        install additional PTFs if needed

     UI55005 installed                               UI55005 not installed           Follow the BACKOUT procedure in the FLASH or install

                                                                                                                        UI55005 and the additional PTFs before starting the controller

    UI55005 installed                               UI55005 installed                 No ACTION needed UNLESS you are seeing any of the possible

                                                                                                                     problems mentioned in the FLASH (i.e. ABENDS, messages)

 

If after reviewing this and the FLASH you are NOT SURE what your next action should be open a PMR with IWSz support.
