Softdoc Sections
present in your software configuration for a specific fix or feature in this SPR to be
fully functional. For example, this listing indicates that T9794D20 or later is
required:
Required Firmware: T9794D20 HYA IPB MICROCODE
•
Required Software lists the requisite software SPRs, which provide specific
function or data that must be present in a software configuration for a specific fix or
feature in this SPR to be fully functional. For example, this listing indicates that any
revision of product T9100 is required:
Required Software: T9100 DDL
This listing indicates that an SPR for product version D42 or later of T9050 is
required:
Required Software: T9050D42 NONSTOP OPERATING SYSTEM
This listing indicates that SPR ACQ or later of product version T9193D30 is
required:
Required Software: T9193D30^ACQ TSQLEXE
•
Manuals lists either the part numbers and titles of the current set of manuals for
the product (for an initial PVU) or manuals that have changed or are new for this
SPR (for a successive PVU).
•
Migration Considerations summarizes how the use or operation of this product
version has changed from the earlier product version and describes how to migrate
to this initial product version update.
•
Installation Considerations summarizes how the installation of this version of the
product has changed from the prior version.
The considerations include an installation impact statement that characterizes the
impact of installing the SPR, including whether any specific or unusual
considerations are involved. This section can indicate:
°
Whether a full SYSGEN is required or whether a partial SYSGEN phase is
possible
°
Whether a subsystem must be stopped and restarted to install the SPR
°
Whether system impact is minimal (no SYSGEN is required, and no subsystem
must be stopped and restarted)
°
What preinstallation steps are required
Steps to be carried out prior to those associated with DSM/SCM are listed. For
some products, it might be necessary to save subsystem configuration files
before they are replaced during the installation. Or it might be that microcode
of a certain version must be downloaded before the DSM/SCM steps can
occur.
