Re: PTF's and "first touch"

Hi Rob
Do you use SAVCHGOBJ or just a regular save command ? I could understand (in some circumstances) what you are seeing if the PTF's touched the objects during the apply process causing them to be marked as changed. Mind you I'd expect to be told this was going to happen in advance.
Is the additional time related to particular libraries ? Particular directories ?
I take it you don't perform a save after the PTF apply is complete ? In the event of a full system recovery wouldn't you then (potentially) need to re-apply your PTF's as part of the recovery process ? ;)

Often times after a release or version upgrade there is a "first touch"
issue.  Where conversions much like STROBJCVN are done against existing
objects.  Sometimes it is even noted in a Memo to Users or some such thing
to do something that does a "first touch" so that users themselves don't
notice it.

Is it possible that a similar instance happens upon the application of
PTF's?

This is why I ask.  After the last couple of downtimes our first save of
user objects after an IPL after ptf application, runs much longer.  The
next night, it's back down to normal.

Now, the save occurs as much as a day to a day and a half after the IPL
has completed so I don't think that it is because of processes all just
starting.
