Re: Why some PTFs and not others?

[Don.McCully@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

My understanding is that if the abnormal switch is set to a 1 then MFnnnnn
will apply, however, SF and SI will not.

                              Display System Value

System value . . . . . :   QABNORMSW
Description  . . . . . :   Previous end of system indicator


Previous end . . . . . :   0          0=Normal
                                       1=Abnormal

As long as you take the machine to a restricted state before doing the IPL,
this switch should end up being set at a 0 and
your next IPL should apply the PTFs.

I was going to assume that the reason that some ptf's applied and some
didn't during that last abnormal IPL was because of the abnormal IPL.  But
I thought I'd double check.
Some ptf's definitely applied.
>From the DSPLOG:
Apply PTF started.
PTF 5722999-MF30602 V5R2M0 temporarily applied to library QGPL.

But they all look like ptf's for 5722999.

There is no mention in the DSPLOG, any job named SCPF, active or
otherwise, about these ptf's
