RE: Permanently Applying PTF's...

[Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The serious question you should be asking yourself is ... do you have enough
disk space to upgrade to v4r5; it is a fair bit larger than v4r1. If space
is so tight  you are worrying about permanently applying PTFs, you should go
back to the calculations for disk space required for the upgrade.
Another disk space issue at upgrade time is that it will take longer for the
up[grade to complete.
Also, are you planning to apply the latest cum PTFs for v4r5 after the
upgrade - current is two CDs; and group PTFs ?

If I were in your shoes I'd be buying in new disk as a matter of some
urgency.

Subject: Permanently Applying PTF's...


Hi Folks,

Getting ready to do an OS upgrade (V4R1 to V4R5 FINALLY) in the coming
weeks and going down the check list of stuff to do. I need to get PTF's
permanently applied which is no real problem but I do have one question:

Until an IPL when these actually do get applied (well the ones that need
at IPL to apply) does this actually increase storage ?

Reason I ask is we are "cramped for disk space" and I started with some
of the smaller LICPGM's (i.e. Performance Tools, App Dev, etc.) and did
them and noticed that a bunch of stuff was placed in the library QRPLOBG
which of course gets cleared at IPL. My fear is that if I Apply all of
the temp PTF's, this library will grow and I might have a problem. When
all users are off the disk utilization drops by 5-6% !! So what I would
do is wait until then to Apply the rest and then IPL (we IPL on
Sunday)..

Thanks for any information on this !

Chuck
