CICS Transaction Server for z/OS-supplied SMP/E procedure

For all CICS®/ESA and CICS Transaction Server systems, the procedure for applying service is called DFHSMPE. This procedure is customized by the DFHISTAR job stored in the CICSTS31.CICS.XDFHINST library.

For full details about applying service to the CICSPlex® SM component of CICS TS, see Applying service to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS.

Applying PTFs to CICSPlexes running CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 3 Release 1 and later

Only use the procedure described below if all CMASs in your CICSPlex are running CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3 Release 1 or a later release of CICSPlex SM. If any CMAS in your CICSPlex is running CICS TS or an earlier release of CICSPlex SM, please consult the documentation that comes with the PTF for advice on how to proceed.

Some PTFs modify CICSPlex SM resource tables. The documentation will tell you if this is the case. Use the procedure described below if the PTF modifies a CICSPlex SM resource table:

In other words, update the maintenance point CMAS first, then the other CMASs, and only update an LMAS after its owning CMAS has been updated.

A PTF might contain additional documentation, giving further instructions specific to that PTF.
