Working with BMC AMI Common Maintenance Utility (CMU)

The BMC AMI Common Maintenance Utility (CMU) is a program executed through JCL that, by default, generates reports listing all PTFs currently applied to a particular system, for all specified BMC AMI mainframe products. With the addition of an optional control file (available from Support Central), the CMU can produce reports that include a list of PTFs that have not been applied or are otherwise missing. The contents of the control file (Example of the Control File input in Control-file-format) are placed into a data set or in stream JCL for the CMU to scan.
The CMU is distributed in the License Management System loadlib (SLCXAUTH).

Important

Make sure all current maintenance is applied to ECC before attempting to use the CMU. Refer to the BMC AMI products listed in the "z/OS, Compatibility and Supported Releases Table" on BMC Support for any additional product PTF requirements.

The CMU processes a simple list of data set names that it will scan and report on. The utility is able to scan the system link list for CMU supported BMC AMI DevX product data sets. It will also scan the STEPLIB DD concatenation of the JCL as well as the data sets specified for SYSIN. The combined scan results from these sources will be presented in the output reports.
