Change Internal Code

Use this window to start tasks for working with internal code changes for the selected Central Processor Complexes (CPCs).

Licensed internal code, referred to also as internal code, controls many of the operations available on a CPC and its support element. Internal code changes may provide new internal code, or correct or improve existing internal code.

Important:

An IBM service representative will provide new internal code changes and manage their initial use. For internal code changes already stored on support elements, IBM recommends that you manage these changes only under the supervision of an IBM service representative or with the assistance of the IBM Support Center.

Tasks

Use this window to start the following tasks for changing internal code. For an example, with step-by-step instructions, select one of the following tasks.

• Accept internal code changes to make them permanent internal code.
• Install and activate internal code changes to make them operational.
• Remove internal code changes to resolve problems.
• Delete internal code changes to attempt error recovery.

Note:

The options for changing internal code from a Hardware Management Console apply to all applicable internal code changes available on the CPCs' support elements. To work with specific internal code changes: You must work with one CPC at a time, and change its internal code by using its support element console, either directly or by using Single Object Operations for the CPC from a Hardware Management Console. You will need the assistance of your IBM service representative or your IBM Support Center to identify specific changes by their Engineering Change (EC) numbers and change levels.
