Buddy,
Here are some notes that I previously used to fix ECS, which in turn also fixed SNDPTFORD.

Subject: Re: Another PTF Question
Thanks Rob for your time, very helpful.
Looks like where I go from here if the ptf's are still needed after the initial load on V7R1, ( or apply them in any case ).
I already loaded the ptf's that 6.1 needs to go to 7.1, but if I decide that SNDPTFORD is the safest way, I may need to add the latest 6.1 CUM and hope it fixes my ECS issues.
If SNDPTFORD doesn't get fixed -
At V6R1 download the 3 ptf's and prereq's from fix central.
-If they don't download as *SAVF -
Copy them to an IMGCLG
Use CPYPTF to convert them to a *SAVF.
After the initial load of V7R1,
Do LODPTF from the *SAVF to *SERVICE
APLYPTF from *SERVICE
May have to create/download a *SAVF for each set of ptf's per product ID if they have to be identified separately.
In any case - fun ahead. Thanks so much for all the help from everyone. Please feel free to add.

It's been too long since I've installed, or upgraded to, 7.1. That's ancient history to me. Sure, I've still got a few lpars running it (at least until we replace Quickr and upgrade Sametime).
What I can tell you is that for 7.2 I have:
I_BASE_01_Licensed_Machine_Code_RS_720-D_LCD8 >
B_GROUP1_01
B_GROUP1_02
B_GROUP1_03
B_GROUP1_04
B_GROUP1_05
F2924_01
F_MULTI_NLV_OMF
F_MULTI_NLV_SMP
F_MULTI_NLV_WQX
LCD8_1833_00
VOL01
XT2
You SERIOUSLY want to follow the Knowledge Base instructions which deal with doing the GO LICPGM, option 5.
This will tell you if you are missing any programs from these disks and whatnot.
As far as how SF99707 gets loaded without applying any ptfs, well, because part of the resave is to resave the whole LIC, including many PTF's.
For example, let's say that you're upgrading to a Power 8 with some fancy new disk disk enclosure. Now let's say you can't use that disk enclosure unless you are running 7.2 with TR2 (just an example). And let's say your load source is in this new model. So, it's impossible to use an old save of LIC. You have to get a new save of LIC, with the current TR loaded.
Or, you create your own I_BASE by upgrading some older machine to 7.2 and putting on the latest TR. Let's say you chose the former. It will have that TR already loaded on it.
You can take a brand new machine, put on straight IBM supplied LIC and OS.
If you do a DSPPTF you WILL see PTFs on it. Even if you've yet to load and apply any yourself.

Sweet! thanks Rob.
I will also look for 5770-SS1 SI46137 and 5770SS1 SI43588
Although I am wondering about the reference to SF99707 and how it gets
loaded w/o the ptf's needed for IMCCLG.
So if I download the Resave M , I may/should be able to find the needed
PTF's in I_BASE , and no worry.
Strange thing about downloading the last release. When I did it several
months ago, I got
I_BASE,
5 BGROUP_1,
3 BGROUP_2,
2 BGROUP_3
and couple of Multi_NLV
The last time I did it, I got
I_BASE
5 BGROUP_1's and no Bgroup 2 or 3
a couple of NLV mixed in with many TR8 files, it was a mess to pull out
what I thought I needed.
The whole download was over 100 gigs
It really is difficult to figure out what on the list do I really need.

Ok, we're getting somewhere.
I would definitely eschew trying to get these into *SERVICE before the
upgrade. Not going to happen.
Here's the good news:
PTF group . . . . . . . . : SF99707
Level . . . . . . . . . . : 9
Status . . . . . . . . . . : Installed
Target release . . . . . . : V7R1M0
Text . . . . . . : TECHNOLOGY REFRESH
PTF Product
ID ID Release
...
MF58616 5770999 V7R1M0
...
So, if you
LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(V7) DEV(OPTVRT01)
WRKIMGCLGE V7
6=Mount on your I_BASE volume
WRKLNK '/QOPT'
5=Display
Find this directory I_BASE_01
5=Display
Near the bottom you should see a file called
RS_710_M
That confirms that you have Resave M.
Resave M will have TR9 loaded.
TR9 will have MF58616.
With all this in place you won't have to 'm'uck with preloading any
individual PTF's after your upgrade to 7.1 to use image catalogs to load
further PTF's.
Is that enough confirmation for you?
Need bibliography?
