Overview of SMP/E
SMP/E is the basic tool for installing and maintaining software
in z/OS and OS/390 systems and subsystems. It controls these changes at the
element level by:
- Selecting the proper levels of elements to be installed from a
large number of potential changes
- Calling system utility programs to install the changes
- Keeping records of the installed changes
SMP/E is an integral part of the installation, service, and
maintenance processes for z/OS and OS/390 software products and product packages,
such as CBPDO, ProductPac, RefreshPac, and
selective follow-on service for CustomPac. In addition, SMP/E can
be used to install and service any software that is packaged in
SMP/E system modification (SYSMOD) format.
SMP/E can be run either using batch jobs or using dialogs under
Interactive System Productivity Facility/Program Development
Facility (ISPF/PDF). SMP/E dialogs help you interactively query the
SMP/E database, as well as create and submit jobs to process SMP/E
commands.
