Re: Catching up of 7.1 PTFs

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Charles,

	You WERE Joking that the system is 3 years and 5 TRs behind on PTFs and 
you think you're going to avoid a double IPL?????

	Of course it's going to work, this IS IBM i after all but you will be 
doing at least two IPLs here. Read the cover letter for TR6 as you may 
need a special PTF to avoid having to manually IPL multiple times. (I 
can't recall when that dude came out.)

	Don't worry about the "Not Installed" as that simply indicates that new 
LPPs (Licensed Program Products) have been installed since that CUME was 
installed on this machine.
