Ensuring that the IBM-supplied product libraries are in the system ASP

If you have moved IBM-supplied product libraries to user auxiliary storage pools (user ASPs), the libraries will not be updated when you go through the IBM® i installation procedures.

To prevent this problem, ensure that IBM-supplied product libraries are in the system ASP before you start the installation procedures. The product libraries should remain in the system ASP (*SYSBAS). PTFs are not applied to product libraries that are not in the system ASP.

If you have duplicate IBM-supplied product libraries, delete the duplicate libraries before you start the upgrade procedures. The upgrade process fails and the new release does not install until duplicate IBM-supplied libraries are deleted.

Use the Display Object Description (DSPOBJD) command to list the libraries and the ASP in which they reside to an output file. Then use SQL to query the results of the output file:

DSPOBJD OBJ(QSYS/Q*)
    OBJTYPE(*LIB)
    ASPDEV(*ALLAVL)
    OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
    OUTFILE(QGPL/LIBS)

Note: SS1 Option 5 (System/36 Environment) has five libraries that do not begin with a Q. They are #CGULIB, #DFULIB, #DSULIB, #SDALIB, and #SEULIB.
