I've bbeen away from PTF maintenance for a while (generally a couple years), so maybe things have happened that I've missed. Can anybody explain the following two sections of a PTF cover letter?
ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS : -------------------------
If this PTF is applied as an immediate PTF, an IPL of the system is required to activate this PTF.
If this PTF is applied as a delayed PTF, no further action is required.
DEFAULT INSTRUCTIONS : ---------------------- THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
Now, what is the point of an "immediate" PTF if it requires an IPL to "activate"? (Sure, I know, I should've noticed the activation instructions when I first read the cover letter in IBM's PTF database, but still...?)
Thank you for any light you can shed.
