Thank you all for your valuable contribution and guidance.

Scott,I checked the level of TCP/IP Group PTF(SF99315) and it is at level 12 on my system.

So going by all the recommendations I need to follow the following steps to install the group PTF for TCP/IP:

1.Install the Latest CUM PTF Package(this will install the latest group hiper and DB2 for system).The current level of CUM PTF Package is 9104 on my system. The current level from IBM is 10117

2.Install the latest TCP/IP Group PTF which is at level 15

Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

Thanks
Darell

Scott,

When you view the list of ptfs in a group on the IBM site,
it will tell you
which are on cumes (and what cume) and which are not.
The far right column, the 0215 is a cume level, the 1000
means it's not on a
cume.

Ibmer's at Common have described (to me) the cume's as the
group of ptfs
most widely required. They were never intended to be "all"
fixes.

Good site for all fixes:

Ordering and installing a cume will not upgrade
the level of your tcp/ip
group.

Then I'm _very_ confused.

My understanding is that the cume contains the PTF
groups levels from
_before_ the cume was built.  That you install
extra group PTFs so you
can get fixes from _after_ the cume was built.

Are you telling me that the fixes in the PTF groups
will never appear in
a cume?  So anything that has group PTFs is only
updated by the group
PTFs?



IBM, by default, ships the latest hiper and db2
group available at
the date you ordered your cume but includes no
other groups.

That's true -- but they do that so that you'll have
any HIPER/DB2 fixes
that created _after_ the cume was built.  At
least, that's what I always
thought!

I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from installing the
group PTFs!  Just
that you update the cume first, since it might bump
your group level
from say 13 to 14.  Then you still have to
install the latest group to
get it completely up to 15.
