- A full SYSGEN can be helpful as part of an LPA clean-up process. Coding your
- Stage 1 deck for your system helps you get rid of unwanted access methods
- (such as TCAM) and device support routines (either those for devices which you
- once had and got rid of or those your system came pre-SYSGENed with support
- for). You might also check your PTS for PTFs with SYSGEN holds... some of
- those might help you remove unwanted code also (e.g., MSS support).
-
- Since doing a full SYSGEN requires ACCEPTing all applied functions and
- maintenance in the MVS zone (if you do it the naive way... if you can do it
- the sophisticated way, you don't need help :-), I would suggest bringing your
- system to a comfortable maintenance level (say generally three or four tapes
- back but _with_ current hold data and fixes or bypasses for PE chains which
- keep important things off) before doing the SYSGEN. After the SYSGEN, do
- additional maintenance with APPLY (for ease of back-off: more recent PTFs are
- more likely to require it).
