Re: Applying TR5

Just a brief note. I installed TR5 this past Friday and didn't encounter
any issues. I applied both the latest CUME, group & TR5 at the same time
using image catalogs. Everything went without a hitch. I agree that IBM
has made this process much easier than it was back in the AS/400 days for
which I am eternally grateful lol.


Thanks,

People are trying to assure others that loading on the latest cume, AND,
SF99707 and then IPLing will get you TR5. And these are pretty sharp
people.

I still wonder why the cover letter for MF99005 says you have to apply all

existing MF* PTFs permanently though. MF99005 is a delayed PTF so if had
the knowledge to automatically IPL the requisite times, why doesn't it and

just drop this verbiage from the cover letter? Since it's not as if you
can apply MF99005 immediately (even if you had permanently applied the
other PTF's already).

And, yes, I've been putting on cumes for years now and I know IBM has made

great strives in automatically IPLing during PTF installation. I still
bear scars from the early years, back on AS400's.
