Re: PTF's and "first touch"

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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 ? ;)
