subject: PTF install questions

It has been a long time since I have done a PTF and have not done very many.
I recently updated my RDi to 9.8.0.0. When I try to do debug it tells me I need a PTF, SI84606. I did the PTF order (SNDPTFORD) and that process went well. The PTF save file is on the system, with the other stuff that came with it.
Near as I can tell I do not need to IPL the system for this to take effect. That is good, my next scheduled IPL is several months away.
Questions to the group:

1. Am I reading SI84606 correctly that no IPL is needed.
2. What is the correct way to install this PTF? Is it GO PTF Option 7
or 8? If so, what should the parms be?

I just don't want to mess up and create an IPL that gets me in hot water.
Thanks in advance.
