I would recommend, and what I do with my customers:

Download the cumulative. Remember that includes database and hipers when your order it.
At the same time grab any of the other groups you'll need. Security, HTTP, (which includes java), TCP, etc as well as the technology refresh group as a minimum. Add to taste/need.

Put the cumulative and all the groups into an image catalog (remember to use "call Qvoifimg parm('imgclgname' '*ALL' 0)" (the last parm is a zero) to add all of the files to the image catalog easily.

Go PTF use option 8 to load them.

Plan on one very long series of IPLs. You may have to do one manually, although most likely not. I'm guessing on a small box it could take an hour to apply PTFs.

You should get everything that way.

The wise Dr. F. will hopefully provide lots more info but I can tell you that doing step 3 will automagically do step 4. You can watch the screen and see that it loads 1 of 1 then well start loading XX of XX then will do another IPL. It works very well. When you do step 2 it will tell you that an IPL is necessary to apply TR5 but one IPL will handle all of it.

Subject: Applying TR5

I've got a 7.1 system that's about two years behind on PTFs and I need to bring it up to TR5. Can that be done in a single pass? From what I've read here and elsewhere, while that single pass may be lengthy due to a couple of intervening IPLs, it seems like it's basically this:

1. SAVSYS
2. Apply all groups, IPL
3. Apply TR5, IPL
4. Apply cume, IPL

Also, IIRC in order to apply TR5, I have to also permanently apply the MF PTFs somewhere, perhaps between steps 2 and 3?

Does this seem about right?

Also, I seem to remember that if I have a good relationship with your BP, I should ask them for a respin just to have TR5-enabled media.

Clearly I've been out of the loop for a bit. Any help would be most appreciated.
