Re: Applying PTFs *PERM prior to new Cumulative/Groups

That's what I had planned to do originally. I have the image catalogs ready and I was going to apply the new Cumulative/Groups using option 8 with no IPL but *IMDDLY.

I don't have enough window for the backup and *two* IPLs.

Have I messed this up completely, now? Do I need an IPL prior to installing the new Cumulative/Groups in order to permanently apply these others? While we're at it, do I need to set them one-by-one to apply at IPL?

Grrrrr! I wish I'd just done what I've done for years and left all of them alone until we upgrade to v7.1.

First of all, you can load the cumes and groups now by telling option 8
of GO PTF to not IPL right now and let it all be done when you do your IPL
this weekend. One IPL.

If you expect problems with that IPL then is there anything stopping you
from doing this
CHGIPLA STRRSTD(*YES)
PWRDWNSYS *CNTRLD DELAY(120)
let it ipl to restricted state, signon, do other ptf activity, do another
IPL?

Your service level agreement should not be what you can or cannot do (to a
point), but rather what the window of outage is. That's all our users
care about.
