  • 1.  Removing Management Central breaks CHKPRDOPT

    Posted 12/05/23 10:29 AM

    APAR SE80590 shows how to remove Management Central - which is obsolete and unsupported.

    The PTF for 7.5 for this APAR is  SI84787
    This breaks CHKPRDOPT with the message at the bottom.
    I have opened case TS014906410
    Message ID . . . . . . :   CPD3DBC                                            
    Date sent  . . . . . . :   12/05/23      Time sent  . . . . . . :   09:56:37  
                                                                                 
    Message . . . . :   Directory not found for product 5770SS1 option 0003      
      release V7R5M0.                                                            
                                                                                 
    Cause . . . . . :   Directory /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/MGTC is a required object  
      for product 5770SS1 option 0003 release V7R5M0. The missing directory may be
      different from the directory in which the product was originally packaged.  
      The packaged directory name is .                                            
    Recovery  . . . :   Do one of the following, and then try the request again:  
        -- Restore the directory from the most recent save operation.            
        -- Install the product again.

    There is a superceeding PTF.  Apparently IBM has decided to put the two obsolete directories back instead of fixing CHKPRDOPT to stop checking for these obsolete directories.

    If you don't want to mess with the superceeding PTF the corrective action is:

    MD '/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/MGTC'
    MD '/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/MGTC/Pervasive'
    CHKPRDOPT PRDID(*OPSYS)
