RE: V5r4 Upgrade, IPL required between Cume and Group PTF installs

You should ALWAYS install the cume, IPL, and then install the groups
after the INZSYS completes when doing an OS upgrade.  I don't remember
the exact terminology but I'm pretty sure you get a message when trying
to install the groups before the INZSYS completes and it won't let you.
When doing a ptf install only I do the groups first then the cume
followed by one IPL.  Has worked for 20 years!

That is the practice I've always followed, no matter what the release.
