Re: Order of PTFs at release upgrade

[as400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Maybe I need to clarify what I'm unclear about:

I'm not sure whether to apply HIPER and DB Group packages (the two that 
come with the CUME) right after the CUME before the first IPL after the 
release upgrade (eg. before INZSYS).

I'm however clear about not applying any other Groups/Individual PTFs 
until after the upgrade is complete.

I appreciate your help.
