I have a question about Option 8.Install program temporary fix package
from the Program Temporary Fix Menu (go ptf). We received a PTF CD from
IBM which must have been System Ordered (Service Agent Auto PTF
Function) since we did order with the sndptford command. Anyways we are
a 520 at V5R3 and I was wondering since we IPL every Sunday Morning can
I use "N" for the Automatic IPL parameter on Option 8 and our PTF's will
be applied during our IPL on Sunday? Also if I do use Automatic IPL "N"
can I install these during normal processing hours or during off hours?

Larry,

Yes, you can preload the PTFs using Automatic IPL = "N". You can do
this load at anytime but I would suggest waiting till Friday afternoon
just in case you have to do an emergency IPL and can't afford the
extra downtime.
