Re: MF41265

I got these with a SNDPTFORD PTFID((*HIPERGRP)) when I
downloaded Level 43. I know this because I opened a PMR
when I didn't get the marker PTF along with it and my system
showed I was at Level 42 after the delayed apply. (Like
you, I didn't read the coverletter and those still show as
temporarily applied. No other errors showing.)

I still have an open PMR, here is part of the dialog:

" All of the above being said, there have been some known
issues when
you order PTFs via SNDPTFORD and have the *SAVF downloaded.
This
process does not necessarily bring down the group PTF marker
and hence
does not update the group PTF correctly. To resolve this,
you would
need to download the images (or get the CDs) for the HIPERs
and run the
CPYPTFGRP command. This will put the marker out there
correctly. "

I maintain that it's broken, it has worked most of the time
in the past (maybe 5 or so other failures that I remember
in the past couple of years) and it's not just cosmetic-- I
like being able to see at a glance what level the
maintenance is and compare it to the web site. Maybe I'm
old-fashioned, but I don't wanna download images or burn CDs
if I can get the *SAVF format.

I have these three PTFs installed on the temp side only
with no errors in the service action log.
In any case, I don't understand why failing to apply them
permanently should cause your errors, assuming you bring
your machine up on the temp side only.
How was this issue resolved?

Btw, they were definitely included in one of the groups.

Then I scrolled down through every product listed at:

Called in a CE with a load of cards. Turned out that
somewhere in there is a ptf, MF41265, that has special

instructions in it's cover letter. Has

to be applied permanently. (Along with MF40763 and
MF41175.) When I order group ptfs and stuff I never

check for cover letters. Now I

have to figure out if MF41265 came down with those, or,
if it was one of the other recommended ptfs.
