RE: wrkptfgrp and status not installed

["Ingvaldson, Scott" <SIngvaldson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>> PTF Group             Level  Status
>> SF99530                5102  Installed
>> SF99529                  49  Installed
>> SF99503                   5  Not installed
>> SF99298                  13  Not installed

My guess is that you had successfully installed level 4 of SF99503 and
level 12 of SF99298, then something that you or Service Director did
updated the level and changed the status.  I have seen this happen when
ATTEMPTING to order a ptf group and having the order fail.  Check your
CD's to see if the levels match what is displayed.

In my mind this is an aggravating and confusing behavior.  Try getting
supportline to help you when your PTF Group status is "Not installed."
We recently had a problem with WAS Express and even though all of the
PTF's in the group were applied the tech would not help until the group
also showed "Installed."  

In your case Jim, I would recommend ordering the groups and installing
them as a package.  I'm not sure that installing the individual ptf's
would update the group status, and doing it that way introduces a lot of
potential for errors.  BTW,  the current group # for DB2 is 6 ad the
current # for ESA is 15.

i verified the "not founds " are truly not on system. Those installed
have install date time = to other groups that did install ok. It appears
(to me) the install of the DB2 group SF99503, which came on same 
cd as Hipers SF99529 just did not "load" all the ptfs (but did load
some).
