Re: Order of PTFs at release upgrade

Hi Mo
other may have a different approach (I'll be watching this with interest) but what I have settled on doing is: 

- Load the cume first after the upgrade & IPL
- Apply the groups and hipers & IPL
As to the image catalogs, you need a catalog per set of CD's, so a catalog for the cume, one for the DB group, one for the hipers, and so forth. However, you can write a simple CL program to load all the PTF's - excluding the cume- from the various image catalogs and then IPl - this is what I did on my last couple of upgrades (they were 5.2-to 5.4 upgrades so YMMV at 5.1)
Since the catalog is eseentially the same as loading from CD the process should be done the same way, but without having to load the pesky CD's one at a time. 

Hope this helps
Regards
Evan Harris

I'm still working on upgrading from 5.1 to 5.3.

I'm a little bit unclear on the PTF install process immediately after
the upgrade (before the IPL). I've received the latest 5.3 CUME along
with Hipers and DB Group. I'd like to install from image catalog.

Should I install the CUME then IPL, then install HIPERS and DB Group or
install all three at the same time before the IPL?

There is a new option in GO PTF 8, 'Prompt for Media' that I'm not sure
how to use.

Assuming CUME and groups are installed at the same time, do I load them
all into the same image catalog or should I have a separate catalog for
CUME and for HIPER/DB Group?

If the catalog is the same, which order should it be loaded in? CUME
first or groups first?

Still assuming CUME and groups go on at the same time, depending on
whether they are in different catalogs or not, how do I correctly use
the 'Prompt for media' option?

If somebody could give me a 'strategy' to follow on how and in what
order to apply CUME, HIPERS and DB Group as part of the release upgrade
I'd be most grateful.

Thanks in advance
Moe
