Others have responded but the answer is absolutely in fact that's the preferred method.

Load up the image catalog, verify it, and use option 8 from the PTF
menu. If your back on PTFs a bit, this is going to take "some
minutes" as Larry likes to say. You will also see several IPL actions. Depending on the level you may even be prompted to do an IPL manually, but I don't always see that.

One word of caution: Rob's right, it might be easier to order the media and load the image catalog from DVD. There is about 60GB of data in them thar groups.........

I'm being asked to relay a couple questions.
Can the PTFs listed below by Jim all be applied via an Image Catalog?
Can they be queued up (so to speak)?

Kurt,

I agree with your partners request, I would make the same one. That said, if you have seen no improvement, I suspect a different problem than PTFs. Is this an LPAR box? Was the LPAR profile changed to use the extra processor? Is there a high limit on the processor that is less than (I think two based on your description) the number of processors you had before adding one?

Yes, you can apply the cumulative and then go back and apply the group for the TR later; But I highly suggest that in addition to the Cumulative you apply the following list of groups as well:
PTF Group Text
SF99710 CUMULATIVE PTF PACKAGE C3037710
SF99709 GROUP HIPER
SF99708 GROUP SECURITY
SF99705 HARDWARE AND RELATED PTFS
SF99701 DB2 FOR IBM I
SF99627 7.1 ELECTRONIC SERVICES GROUP PTF
SF99572 JAVA
SF99368 IBM HTTP SERVER FOR I
SF99367 TCP/IP PTF
SF99366 PRINT PTFS
SF99362 BACKUP RECOVERY SOLUTIONS (even if you don't use
BRMS this is where all the save/restore PTFs are)
SF99145 PERFORMANCE TOOLS (if you have them)

The TR is SF99707 TECHNOLOGY REFRESH

The HIPER, and Hardware ones are the ones I would find most important in this case, however if your taking the time to apply any Group you might
just as well get the entire batch. I'm not sure why you would not
want the TR group as well, unless there is something in the cover letter that leads you to believe there is going to be a problem.
