RE: PTF's

Hmm... I've always done cume then groups, since the cume should have
older, more hardened PTFs and the HIPERs will supersede some of the
stuff on the cume.  There's only been one time where I've blown-up the
OS with spinning 10+ CDs at once, and it was a looong time ago on V5R1,
but IBM at that time told me cume then groups.

Do you do groups or cumes first after an OS upgrade?  Cume.  Right.  So
how is normal maintenance any different?

Groups then Cume should be fine.  And if that's what the directions say,
then I'd definitely go that route.  

Load the Groups, load the Cume, and IPL when you can.  Expect the IPL to
take longer than normal (maybe an extra 20-45 minutes) to allow time for
the PTF application.

Ok. I asked the other about orderings PTF's and John and Vern gave me
some good info. I received 3 CD's FOR SF99502 and SF99519 which I
believe are the group  and Hiper PTF's and I recv'd 4 CD's for the Cume
PTF's for CF99520.
Do I have to load all of these or can I just load the CUME PTF's. How
dangerous is it to load all of these at once. Do I load the group and
Hiper first, then load the Cume PTF's? This is my first big attempt at
this so excuse if I sound vague. I have read the instructions and they
are telling me to do the group first then the Cume.. We are at 5.2
