This step will RECEIVE the PTFs, analyze the environment for any Pre APPLY HOLD conditions that need to be handled, then run an APPLY CHECK to analyze the target environment and prepare subsequent steps of the upgrade.

NOTE:

• If you chose to download the upgrade packages manually in Step 1.2 and also chose to bypass EHD processing, the PE PTF report will not be current and, as a result, known error conditions might not be identified in the log.
• If any ad hoc PTFs are installed in the target environment after step 1.5 has been run, rerun step 1.5.
• Do not run step 1.5 after step 2.5 (APPLY the Upgrade) has been run.

1. Select Minor Step 5, RECEIVE and Analyze Target Environment.
2. Submit the job.

   A log is displayed. For general information about understanding the log, see Maintenance job logs.

3. Examine the log for error and warning messages. Resolve any errors and rerun the job.
4. If the log and status indicate that there are unhandled pre APPLY HOLD conditions to be handled (status is PreHold, colored red), use the "P" option to display the "Handle Pre Apply HOLDs" panel, use 'S' to select and view the 'Pre Installation Holds', handle them as described, and then type CONFIRM in the space provided to confirm that they have been handled. Type PF3 to Save and Exit.

   When the status PreHold is displayed in Green it indicates that handling of all Pre Holds has been confirmed (as above). Use 'S' to re-run the RECEIVE and ANALYZE job.

5. Examine the information about PTFs in error, in the PE PTF report, if one is included in the log.

   Do the following, as necessary:

   • For PE PTFs without resolving PTF(s), perform the procedure described in PTFs in error without resolving PTF(s)
   • For PE PTFs with resolving PTF(s), perform one of the following procedures:
     • If you chose to use RECEIVE ORDER, use the A line command to specify IDs of additional PTFs that you want to install, as described below.
     • If you chose to obtain the files manually, perform the procedure described in PTFs in error with resolving PTF(s).

   NOTE: If the job completes with status PE-PTF, and you intend to install the resolving PTFs together with this upgrade (recommended), use the A line command. The response to the A command depends on the method that you chose in Step 1.2 – Verify Upgrade Files for obtaining the required files:

   • If you chose to use RECEIVE ORDER, specify the IDs of the additional PTFs that you want to install.

     You do not need to specify requisite PTFs, as they will be automatically RECEIVEd together with the specified PTF(s).

   • If you chose to obtain the files manually, the name and attributes of the dataset where the additional PTFs must be placed are displayed.

     When the dataset is present, it is moved to the bottom of the panel with a Ready status (or with an *Empty* status if the dataset is empty - in which case the PTFs must copied into the dataset), and the name of the next dataset to be used is displayed at the top.

   If you chose to continue without the resolving PTFs, manually mark this step COMPLETE.

6. Press PF3 (END) to return to the Minor Steps Selection panel.
