Hi,

I am trying to find out the all the APARs & PTF that are installed. Please help me

I Tried using DIAGNOSE utility to find the APARs & PTF,The job & output of this utility is as shown below

Job:-

//DIAGNOSE JOB (),
// 'DIAGNOSE',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP3 EXEC DSNUPROC,UID='',
// UTPROC='',SYSTEM='DSNB'
//STEPLIB DD DSN=DSNB.DB2.SDSNLOAD,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
DIAGNOSE
DISPLAY MEPL


Output:-


0000 20B92420 C2C5D7D3 0120D4C5 D7D360D3 C9D2C540 C6D6D940 C4E2D5E4 E3C9D3C2*....BEPL..MEPL-LIKE FOR DSNUTILB*

I am not able to understand anything from this output....

Please correct if anything is wrong in my job also explain how to find the APARs & PTF that are installed from the job logs

You did run the correct utility - DIAGNOSE DISPLAY MEPL. "MEPL" stands for Module Entry Point List.

On each line of dump output, it consists of the following fields:

1) 4 bytes - the address of the module where it currently resides in storage.
2) Module name - 8 bytes
3) Module assembly date - 8 bytes
4) PTF level of the module - 8 bytes, If the value starts with UQ or UK, that is a PTF. If the value starts with IN or AN, that is a usermod. If neither of those values, the module is most likely at base level.
5) The last 4 bytes are unused.

Tp break one line of your output down, consider this line:

0040 16400100 C4E2D5C1 D7D9C840 F1F061F2 F661F0F7 E4D2F3F0 F6F9F840 00000000 *. ..DSNAPRH 10/26/07UK30698 ....*

Address = 16400100
Name = DSNAPRH
Date: = 10/26/07
PTF = UK30698

MEPLs were created to provide DB2 service and development a "quick answer" to the question of "what level is a module", and that's why the format is as it is.

A better way to determine maintenance levels are via SMP/E, as not every module is listed in the MEPL. For instance, modules related to the DB2 Precompiler are not listed in the MEPL.

Hi,

Thanks alot for your reply. Could you please more information,procedure via determine maintenance levels are via SMP/E.

Thanks in advance...

No I can't. Search for an SMP/E forum or ask your Systems Programmer.
