Warning

Important

If you originally installed your product with the BMC Installer and used the Receive From Network (RFN) process, you can optionally re-use the $04RECV job you had used to install your products (see Step-4-Receive-From-Network-the-base-code-cumulative-maintenance-and-HOLDDATA).


    1. Copy the <PACKAGE information from the email attachment order#_smpe_receive.txt.

    2. Edit the $04RECV member and replace its <PACKAGE information (as shown in the following figure) with that of the email attachment order#_smpe_receive.txt.

      Warning

      Important

      If you are unable to directly Receive from Network and instead followed the procedure described in Tar-file-SMP-E-receive to stage your order to your z/OS UNIX workspace, use $04RCVTF instead of $04RECV.

      Sample <PACKAGE information

      <PACKAGE
      file="/pub/package/outgoing/KLRU1TSTRCDK1QQG/C579033/GIMPAF.XML"
      hash="D491450C0BC8551F7A9BB936F64600614B71536B"
      id="579033">
      </PACKAGE>
    3.  Submit the job to start the receive process.
    4. Review the job output.
