arsdb -u What is it updating ?

[ojoerge1]

Hi All
Doing updates, fixpacks etc, we would like to have an overview of what is happening, BEFORE doing the actuel update/upgrade. Can I find any info on the for the apar/fixpack of the actual changes done by the arsdb -u ?
This is written in planning an upgrade from 7.1.2.6 to 8.5.x.x of 3 old systems on z/OS.

Thanks in advance.

Hello ojoerge1 - this has never been published.

Even IBM Level 2 doesn't know what changes are made.

The only possible way to see what happens would be to do this to a test system and see what the differences are, before and after.
