Using the EPSPT Host Tool

Once the EPSPT Host Tool is installed, you may need to utilize a STEPLIB, JOBLIB, TSOLIB or LNKLSTxx to make this dataset accessible on the system.

Once the EPSPT program is in the normal module search list, any user can run the report tool.

SAMPLE JCL to run the EPSPT Host Tool is shown below. Lower case text in the sample reflects data which must be modified. Additional information follows this sample, but a basic knowledge of JCL is assumed.

EXEC statement parameters:

Replace "zonename" in the sample with the zone to check.

DD Statements:

DDNames SYSIN, OUTPUT, OUTPUTL and SYSPRINT are required.

SMPCSI statement:

This DD defines the SMP/E CSI dataset.
Replace "smpe.csi.dsname" in the sample with the name of the SMP/E CSI dataset.

SYSIN statement:

This DD defines the dataset containing the list of required service.
The format of the dataset is: APAR(APAR-number) FMID(FMIDxxx) FIX(PTF-number).

OUTPUT statement:

This DD defines the dataset to contain the summary report. This report will identify any service contained in the list which is NOT installed in the specfied target zone.
This may be either en explicit dataset or the default output (SYSOUT=*).

OUTPUTL statement:

This DD defines the dataset to contain the output log. The log file contains the details of which FMIDs were found and not found from the input file, and for found FMIDs the results that appear in the summary report.
This may be either en explicit dataset or the default output (SYSOUT=*).

SYSPRINT statement:

This DD defines the dataset to contain the job output.
