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

In V5R3 and V5R4, since you have the ability to install multiple PTF
packages at once using GO PTF option 8, you can install the groups, the
cume, and then IPL.  Its much quicker.

While you are right, it worked for 20 years, that was V5R2 and below.  Its
not your grandfather's AS/400 anymore. :)

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.

V5r4 Upgrade, IPL required between Cume and Group PTF installs






All,

Normally, when installing cume and group PTFs, I install the group PTFs
first followed by the cume PTFs.

However, the v5r4 upgrade instructions seem to be pretty clear to
install the cume PTFs prior to installing group PTFs.

My question is, do you need to do the automatic IPL for the cume PTFs to
be applied (and wait for INZSYS to complete) before installing the group
PTFs?

I don't remember how I did the v5r3 upgrade <grin>

Thanks,

Charles Wilt
