If you have a license for and use Assure System Access Manager (SAM), do the following before using the product:
  1. For security reasons after the upgrade, you should perform a test using control points in simulation mode. To set control points in simulation mode, do the following:
    1. Access the list of points using either the command WRKQXPNT or Option 1 (Work with Points) from the Assure System Access Manager menu.
    2. Take option 2 for each point to use in simulation mode and change "Simul mode" to *Y*. Then press Enter twice to validate and return to the point list.
    3. Press F3 twice to exit the points list and Assure System Access Manager.

    For more information, see the Assure System Access Manager User Guide.

  2. Restart the points that were active before the upgrade (you identified these in Step 17 of Prepare to upgrade an instance checklist ).

    To restart the points, use the command:

    product-library/VRYQXPNT PNT(*AUTOSTART) PNTTYPE(*ALL) STATUS(*ON)
  3. Start services and servers associated with the points using the following steps. This is required for the services to work with points you have activated. Alternatively, you can perform an IPL the system.
    Note: You may need to adapt these instructions to your configuration to take into account special usage of control points in their definition and their use. If the services and servers are already ended, they do not need to be ended again.
    1. Stop FTP using the command:
      ENDTCPSVR *FTP
    2. Start FTP using the command:
      STRTCPSVR *FTP
    3. Identify the active jobs in the QSERVER and QUSRWRK subsystems and record the jobs and users in case you need to reactivate the jobs manually.
      WRKACTJOB SBS(QSERVER QUSRWRK)
    4. Stop the QSERVER and QUSRWRK subsystems using the commands:
      ENDSBS QSERVER *IMMED
      ENDSBS QUSRWRK *IMMED
    5. Ensure that the corresponding jobs are all stopped.
      WRKACTJOB SBS(QSERVER QUSRWRK)
    6. Start the QSERVER and QUSRWRK subsystems using the commands:
      STRSBS QSERVER
      STRSBS QUSRWRK

      Wait at least 30 seconds to ensure that all jobs are restarted before continuing with the next step. You recorded the active jobs in Step 17e of Prepare to upgrade an instance checklist.

    7. Start all host servers using the command:
      STRHOSTSVR *ALL
    8. Start TCP-IP application servers using the command:
      STRTCPSVR *NETSVR
      Note: In some cases, you may have to stop and restart the point-to-point communications.
