Re: perm apply ptf's

Nor do I. If disk space is that low, you have more problems than just
applying ptfs.

Thanks,

Someone recently asked a question regarding permanently applying ptf's as
a general rule.  I'd like to give another example of why not.  Just today
I got an email from an IBMer supporting Notes.  They wanted me to
redownload the ptf for Team Workplace (Quickplace) as instructed by:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg24009143
I already had this ptf loaded and applied.  However, someone decided to
update the ptf versus coming out with a new ptf number.  (Crack addict?)
So I had to RMVPTF, reload it, and apply the new reload.  If I had applied
this permanently I would have had to DLTLICPGM 5733LQP, reinstall it, then
load and apply the updated ptf.

As a general rule I never do a APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) APY(*PERM).
