Patching R3trans and TP in iSeries

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can someone let me know the correct syntax to apply R3trans and TP on a iSeries server. This is kernel verion 7.00.

Hi Niclas,

it works as follows for unicode with sidadm and the sid ERD:

- you have to download the patch to the IFS to /tmp and rename it so r3trans.sar or tp.sar without all the numbers in between

- then you run the following command:

APYR3FIX SID(ERD) SAVF(QGPL/R3TRANS) SAVLIB(GEN700UOPT) FROMDIR('/tmp')

The complete process is described in detail in note 49365 ...

Hello Volker,

I have copied both the R3trans.SAR and tp.SAR into the /tmp and run the followiing command

APYR3FIX SID(ERD) SAVF(QGPL/R3TRANS) SAVLIB(GEN700UOPT) FROMDIR('/tmp')

and this is the output.

SAPCAR: processing archive /tmp/R3TRANS.SAR (version 2.01)

x R3TRANS.FILE

SAPCAR: 1 file(s) extracted

Press ENTER to end terminal session.

APYR3FIX: cannot unpack patch save file QGPL/R3TRANS - see joblog

I have stopped the R3 before i issued the command. How can i check the joblog.

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

The note 986945 worked and i managed to run the patch without any problem. But when i check the version of the R3trans and tp, the system still shows version 151, the old version. Should be version 206:

tp_206-20001357.sar

R3trans_206-20001357.SAR

Not sure if there are problem with my steps:

. copy both the above files and rename to tp.sar and R3trans.sar in the /tmp directory

. login with QSRCOFR

. applied note 986945

. login smdofr

. stop SAP

. APYR3FIX SID(SMD) SAVF(QGPL/R3TRANS) SAVLIB(GEN700UOPT) FROMDIR('/tmp')

. start SAP.

Hi Niclas,

APYSAP *INCR is missing in my eyes ...

Hallo Niclas,

Classic error: you need to run APYSAP to activate the patches. Please see note 751131.

Hello

Just before i run the command, is this the right command and should i stop the sap before running this command:

APYSAP TYPE(KERNEL) SID(SMD) MODE(INCR)
