Re: Applying PTFs *PERM prior to new Cumulative/Groups

[Robert Clay <zreclay@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's what I had planned to do originally.  I have the image catalogs 
ready and I was going to apply the new Cumulative/Groups using option 8 
with no IPL but *IMDDLY.

I don't have enough window for the backup and *two* IPLs.

Have I messed this up completely, now?  Do I need an IPL prior to 
installing the new Cumulative/Groups in order to permanently apply these 
others?  While we're at it, do I need to set them one-by-one to apply at 
IPL?

Grrrrr!  I wish I'd just done what I've done for years and left all of 
them alone until we upgrade to v7.1.
