Chapter 5. Servicing z/VM 93
8. Access the MAINT 500 disk as C:
==> acc 500 c
DMSACC724I 500 replaces C (2CC)
9. The envelope files arrive in a compressed format to speed downloads. In order to use
them they must first be renamed to have a file type of SERVLINK and uncompressed with
the DETERSE command. Therefore, we recommend to leave the file name of the SES
envelope unchanged, but to change the prefix letter of the documentation envelope to D.
First rename them, then use the DETERSE command with the (REPLACE parameter to
uncompress them in place and save disk space:
==> rename s8873674 shipftss c = servlink =
==> rename s8873674 shipdocs c d8873674 servlink =
==> deterse s8873674 servlink c = = = (replace
==> deterse d8873674 servlink c = = = (replace
Be sure all commands complete successfully.
5.4.4 Receiving, applying, and building service
You must receive, apply, and build the PTF. Then it can be put into production. This can be
done in a process that is much easier now with the SERVICE command.
To prepare to use the SERVICE command, you must have a minidisk with a lot of free space
(that is what the MAINT 500 minidisk is for).
Perform the following steps:
1. Access the MAINT 500 disk as file mode C:
==> acc 500 c
DMSACC724I 500 replaces C (2CC)
2. Use the SERVICE ALL command specifying the envelope files you downloaded. Many,
many windows of output will scroll by and will automatically be cleared. Important
messages will be saved to the 500 disk. This process may take many minutes. Following
is an example:
==> service all d8873674
...
VMFSUT2760I VMFSUFTB processing completed successfully
VMFSRV2760I SERVICE processing completed successfully
==> service all s8873674
...
VMFSUT2760I VMFSUFTB processing completed successfully
VMFSRV2760I SERVICE processing completed successfully
If you see no number in parenthesis after the Ready; prompt, then the return code is 0.
Any non-zero return code will be in parenthesis. A return code of 0 is ideal. In general a
return code of 4 is acceptable. It means that only warnings were issued. A return code of 8
or greater generally means that errors were encountered.
3. The output files are of the form $VMF* $MSGLOG. You may want to inspect these files:
==> filel $vmf* $msglog
$VMFSRV $MSGLOG A1 V 80 728 14 12/15/09 13:43:34
$VMFBLD $MSGLOG A1 V 80 787 11 12/15/09 13:41:47
$VMFAPP $MSGLOG A1 V 80 252 4 12/15/09 13:41:37
$VMFREC $MSGLOG A1 V 80 56 1 12/15/09 13:41:36
$VMFMRD $MSGLOG A1 V 80 231 4 12/15/09 13:41:35
