RE: Schedule PTFs?

A screen appears with a message similar to below.

CPF362E Escape 40 05/11/19 21:53:58.816106 QPZINSFX QSYS 1956 QPZPTFIN QSYS 07B1
Message . . . . : IPL required to complete PTF install processing.
Cause . . . . . : At least one PTF requires an initial program load (IPL) to
complete the PTF install processing. This includes one or both of the
following: -- A technology refresh PTF or its requisite PTFs requires an
IPL. A technology refresh PTF must be permanently applied before the
remaining PTFs can be loaded and applied. -- One or more special handling
PTFs or its requisite PTF requires an IPL. There are special handling PTFs
defined in a PTF group being installed that must be applied before the
remaining PTFs in the PTF group can be applied. Recovery . . . : Perform
a normal mode IPL from the B IPL source to complete the PTF install. During
the next unattended IPL, the remaining PTFs will be installed. If an IPL is
required for a technology refresh PTF, device *SERVICE and image catalog
*NONE will be used to load the additional PTFs during the next IPL. See the
previously listed messages for PTFs that require an IPL.

I don't recall getting an additional screen regarding the TR but just a message at the bottom instead. Then I almost never use the menu but just the commands instead. The commands would be more like the experience one would get by automating this.

Knew a business which never worked on Sundays. They set it up to order PTF's and IPL every Sunday.
