Re: PTF QUESTION

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps I'm just neurotic (better than even odds on that), but I always 
check the "Defective PTF's" list and, where necessary, omit them from 
the install.


Also, prior to anything else, I actually print and read the cover 
letters with special instructions.  The text file that comes with the 
download or on the CD explains how to do that.


I'm starting my cycle for the latest v5r3 CUME, but I'm also downloading 
the groups for everything on my system that has a higher level.  The 
CUME and group levels currently on the system can be displayed using the 
WRKPTFGRP command.  The PSP planning document 
(http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/sline003home) will show the 
current Level of each group (gotta drill down a couple of steps).
