Did you go through the instructions in the ptf cover letter step by step? You may be missing one of the ptf's that has to be applied first before you load and apply the cume.

Barring that, a second ipl may help, but then it's time for support line.

Is there some way to rationally figure out why I have a load of PTF's that haven't been applied? I have spent the last hour or so trying to figure out which of the PTF's in the last Cume have failed to apply. It is like a set of dominos....if I can push the first one over, I think all the rest will fall.

My first indication of a problem was after the IPL I looked at the log and saw many PTF's that had "not applied" errors when they were processed. WRKPTFGRP shows almost all groups "Not Installed". Working the list of "not applied" messages, it is hard to tell which of the dozen or so that aren't applied failed to apply. Some say that they need a prerequisite PTF applied "Only when the system is started". Some have to have some applied permanently and some of those, when you try to apply them permanently say they have been superseded. I can't figure out which one is causing the heartburn.

Is there a way to systematically follow the chain of requirements so I can figure out just which PTF is the problem or do I just keep going at this in a trial and error manner?
