Installation Process
Note Exit the CNTL library as soon as the INSTSMPE job stream is submitted. Keeping the data set open in your TSO session will cause the APPLY job to fail.

Before installing system maintenance, obtain the most recent HOLDDATA file. You can obtain this file through anonymous FTP by logging in to ftp.interlink.com and requesting it as shown in the following example. For user ID, use anonymous; for password, user your email address.

ascii
get hold.txt
At the prompt for a storfile name, enter the following (including the single quotation marks):
'your_80byte_pds(member)' quit
This file is in ASCII and is to be downloaded to MVS for processing by SMP/E. Translation of ASCII text to EBCDIC is automatic during transfer.
PTFs may have a HOLD status associated with them that should be reviewed before you begin the APPLY process. Review the ++HOLD requirements after you RECEIVE the SYSMODS. When satisfied, use a BYPASS(HOLDSYS) on the APPLY command and rerun the APPLY job without the CHECK parameter.
Use this HOLDDATA file as your SMPHOLD file in the SMPHOLD DD statement. If you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC for the latest HOLDDATA file.

Edit the SMPECUMT member by entering TCPNAMES at the command line.
