RE: Ptf's

Thanks again for the encouragement!  We put on all the latest ptf's last
night, and today our Apache HTTP and net.data programs seem to be
SCREAMINGLY fast in comparison.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you all - I am convinced to do the whole thing as you indicate.  

However, I have no software maintenance.  I would have to get a quote
from a Business partner to see what they would charge.  I see a
statement in the installation directions where if it shows a "failure"
in the history log,  then "contact your provider of software service
support".  That would NOT be good and I'm wondering if a contracted
business partner would then assume that responsibility if anything goes
wrong?

Don - i see in your post "just trying to get TIME ptfs..."
but now you've got cume (C6255530) hiper (SF99529 and DB2 (SF99503).
I agree with Justin you should do the whole cume & hiper & DB2.
There is some risk in trying to cherry pick ptfs and not getting it all
correct, especially in doing recent single ptfs against a system perhaps
at a very old cume level.
We assume you are at V5R3M0 not V5R3M5? You can check your current cume
level and release by typing DSPPTF (no parms) and looking at 1st screen
and 1st "TLxxyyy"
xx = year  yyy=day of year. The C6255 above is year 06  day 255.
Release level at top of screen. You can ask others but I think most if
not all got the time ptfs via cume or release upgrade. IBM does not
really document (that I know of) all ptfs for a subject like "time".

I'm just trying to get the TIME ptfs installed, and now I have 
received a package with 6 CD's for "cumulative PTFs V5R3M0 SF99530 - 
C6255530".  In the same package I received 3 more CD's for "SF99503 
Lvl 014, SF99529 Lvl 106".

Sorry, if I have missed the previous answer regarding what I need to 
do with these....
