RE: Latest cumulative PTF level -- MIDRANGE-L

 
Well,  If you load the CUM (or other group PTFs) from CD take option 8 from the 
GO PTF menu.  Be sure to make sure Automatic IPL is N.  This will set (load & 
apply) all the PTFs for the next IPL.  The next IPL the PTFs will be applied.

Device  . . . . . . . . .                Name, *SERVICE, *NONE               
                                                                             
Automatic IPL . . . . . .   N            Y=Yes                               
                                         N=No                                
                                                                             
Prompt for media  . . . .   1            1=Single PTF volume set             
                                         2=Multiple PTF volume sets          
                                         3=Multiple volume sets and *SERVICE 
                                                                             
Restart type  . . . . . .   *SYS         *SYS, *FULL                         
                                                                             
Other options . . . . . .   N            Y=Yes                               
                                         N=No       


If they're already installed (downloaded from IBM via modem) but yet to be 
loaded and applied then you can load them with option 8 as well.  But use 
*SERVICE option as the Device.  It will also set (load & apply) them at the 
next IPL.  Make sure again that Automatic IPL is N.

IBM Help
*SERVICE                                                
    Specifies to install PTFs that you have received    
    electronically from the service support system.     


You can do them separately but that's problematic when you have Prerequisite or 
corequisite PTFs and is very time consuming.

Hope this helps.

Ken H,

Ken,

Thanks. That was what i was looking for.

The status shows as not installed. and the list of PTFs show some as not
appled. Is there any way to apply the entire group or do I have to do
each PTF seperately?

Albert
