Still preparing for 6.1 to 7.1 upgrade.

As previously mentioned, there are PTF's that need to be applied after the upgrade but before applying the bulk of the ptfs from optical.

The documentation says that the ptfs need to be loaded from *service. It also says that they can be download from fix central and loaded via *SAVF.
The option on loading a ptf has either *service or *savf . When they say *service in the documentation, do they also mean *savf if you downloaded it manually
and is it a matter of just creating a SAVF and using ftp to get the .BIN moved to the Iseries. Basically does *SAVF imply *SERVICE, just from a different source ( manual vs automatic download ).

When I download the individual ptf, I get a .BIN file, the same as when I download more than one. There are several ptf's that need to be applied this way,
can they all be combined into one download and one .bin file to copy to one savf? Or is it risky to apply a ptf if it was not really required, so individual ptf downloads would be the way to go

As always, thanks for the help.
