Re: Why i??? NEED YOUR INPUT

The suggestion that "all LIC PTFs on the IBM i also require a restart" is _false_. For example, consider the following PTF cover letter, MF47763 - Licensed Internal Code. The text for that PTF suggests quite clearly that "THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED." Immediate-apply PTFs do not require a restart of the system, however special instructions and activation instructions may suggest subsystem, [application, xx, yy] server, and\or job restart requirements where code\fix changes would otherwise not be visible to existing processes.

And which subsystem or application server do you restart when
you upgrade the libc?

Also, all LIC PTFs on the IBM i also require a restart, so I
don't really see your point. No OS does this any better.
