DSM/SCM
DSM/SCM
DSM/SCM has automatic features that can help you keep records of SPRs. You can
use the DSM/SCM Planner Interface to generate a number of prepackaged reports,
including reports that list:
•
The products on a system and the SPRs applied to those products
•
The SPRs that have been replaced by a specific SPR
•
The requisite SPRs for a selected SPR
You can also use the DSM/SCM Archive to export SPRs to different SYSnns.
See the DSM/SCM User’s Guide for more information.
SPRNOTES
You can use SPRNOTES to research an SPR before installing it. Read the installation
instructions and considerations documented in the SPRNOTE, which includes:
•
A summary of SPR contents
•
Lists of SPRs required for this SPR
•
Installation considerations, including tasks to perform before and after running
DSM/SCM
•
A summary of problems corrected
•
A summary of known problems remaining
Keep a copy of each SPRNOTE and record the status of the related SPR. For
example, record whether the SPR is not applicable, is already installed, or needs to be
installed.
Install SPRs With DSM/SCM
The steps for using DSM/SCM to install SPRs are basically the same as those for
installing a SUT.
Save the Current Configuration
First, save the current system configuration database CONFIG file. Use the SCF SAVE
command:
1. At a TACL prompt, start SCF:
2> SCF
2. List the saved configuration files. At the SCF prompt, enter:
-> FUP INFO $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONF*
