System Reason IDs

Please reference z/OS SMP/E Reference, SA22-7772, for more detailed information.


ID Explanation

The reason ID for a system HOLD is generally a brief indication of the kind of processing the SYSMOD requires. These are the values currently used by IBM:

ACTION
The SYSMOD needs special handling before or during APPLY processing, ACCEPT processing, or both.
AO
The SYSMOD may require action to change automated operations procedures and associated data sets and user exits in products or in customer applications. The PTF cover letter describes any changes (such as to operator message text, operator command syntax, or expected actions for operator messages and commands) that can affect automation routines.
DELETE
The SYSMOD contains a ++DELETE MCS, which deletes a load module from the system.
DEP
The SYSMOD has a software dependency.
DOC
The SYSMOD has a documentation change that should be read before the SYSMOD is installed.
EC
The SYSMOD needs a related engineering change.
EXRF
The SYSMOD must be installed in both the active and the alternative MVS/XA* Extended Recovery
Facility
(XRF) systems at the same time to maintain system compatibility. (If you are not running XRF, you should bypass this reason ID.)
FULLGEN
The SYSMOD needs a complete system or subsystem generation to take effect.
IOGEN
The SYSMOD needs a system or subsystem I/O generation to take effect.
MSGSKEL
This SYSMOD contains message changes that must be compiled for translated versions of the message changes to become operational on extended TSO consoles. If you want to use only the English version of the messages, you do not need to run the message compiler. You should bypass this reason ID.
MVSCP
The SYSMOD requires the MVS configuration program to be run for the change to take effect.
