RE: How do you get the B side back "clean"?

I just had a similar issue here.  I worked with IBM to get around the
problem.  That would be my suggestion.

Subject: How do you get the B side back "clean"?

Let's say I want to apply the latest OS/400 cume, but I can't run the
risk of causing application problems.

So before installing the cume, I apply all my PTFs *PERM. Then I apply
the new cume.

Now in theory, if I have a problem under the newly applied maintenance I
can IPL from the A side and everything should be back the old way,
correct?

But how do I get back to running on the B side? I guess what I'm asking
is, isn't my "B side" corrupt now (it contains code that causes
problems) and if so, how do I get my system back to running on the "B
side", or do I even need to, etc?

Is there a process for copying the (good) A side back over the (bad) B
side to make B side good again?

Hopefully someone can tell what I'm trying to ask.

Thanks,
-Marty
