GIM26701S when applying CICS TS PTF like UI19056

Question & Answer


Question

Why would I get SMP/E message GIM26701S when applying a PTF? For example, when applying PTF UI19056 for CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) 5.1 APAR PI16019, or UI20469 and UI20355 for CICS TS 5.2 APARs PI19423 and PI19204.

GIM26701S ** DIRECTORY SPACE FOR THE SMPWRK3 LIBRARY WAS EXCEEDED DURING AN ATTEMPT TO STORE MODULE ENTRY DFHTOLCR.

Here is a more complete list of messages that I recieved when applying UI20469 and UI20355:

GIM41802I    INLINE JCLIN PROCESSING WAS SUCCESSFUL FOR SYSMOD UI20355.

GIM26701S ** DIRECTORY SPACE FOR THE SMPWRK3 LIBRARY WAS EXCEEDED DURING AN ATTEMPT TO STORE MODULE ENTRY DFHRMLK2.

GIM22601I    APPLY PROCESSING FAILED FOR SYSMOD UI20469.

GIM22601I    APPLY PROCESSING FAILED FOR SYSMOD UI20355.

GIM20501I    APPLY PROCESSING IS COMPLETE. THE HIGHEST RETURN CODE WAS 12.

GIM20502I    SMP/E PROCESSING IS COMPLETE. THE HIGHEST RETURN CODE WAS 12. SMP/E IS AT LEVEL 36.58.

Answer

When you APPLY UI19056 you might need to increase the number of directory blocks on the SMPWRK3 data set in the SMPE apply job.

SMPWRK3 was defined as follows in the JCL:

SMPWRK3 DD UNIT=SYSDA,DSN=PTFB.CICS690.SMPWRK3,
DCB=BLKSIZE=3200,
SPACE=(CYL,(50,9,100)),DISP=(,DELETE,DELETE)

When the directory blocks in the JCL were changed from "100" to "120" the APPLY UI19056 completed successfully:

SMPWRK3 DD UNIT=SYSDA,DSN=PTFB.CICS680.SMPWRK3,
DCB=BLKSIZE=3200,
SPACE=(CYL,(50,9,120)),DISP=(,DELETE,DELETE)
