RE: Action required on applied PTFs

I just looked on our system and we have 111 with this flag. Most appear to
have "activation instructions" (some had special instructions also).

I took one of the "easier" ones and followed the instructions, then
displayed the PTF again and it still had the flag set.

Is it just for ease of finding the PTFs?

Read all 138 cover letters? I've got bigger fish to fry.
Some of these go back to 2004 when we were running a model 820 so I doubt
that they're important to our environment. The IPL action for all of them
is "none" and we've done plenty of IPL's recently.
Thanks.

I second that. Read the cover letters. It may be something like "you have
to stop and restart TCP/IP for this to take effect". If you no longer have
the ptf cover letters on your system (hint: check out the members in
QAPZCOVER) then try:

Did you miss something in the cover letters?

Have you rebooted? Some PTF's require they be permanently applied before
subsequent PTF's can be applied. When I see this type of thing, I use the
APYPTF and reboot a couple of times each.

Make sure that you have read the cover letters.

What does "action required" mean on a PTF that has been applied? I have
138
such PTFs, some permanently applied. Here's a little snip of an outfile
query:
