Re: MF99010 and 35 page cover letter -- MIDRANGE-L

Well - I do have the service - but the response is different spelling of
superseded in the data returned, but the screen has "Superseded"

PTF_IDENTIFIER PTF_LOADED_STATUS
MF99008 SUPERCEDED
******** End of data ********

Webster's Dictionary *Supercede* has occurred as a *spelling* variant of
*supersede* since the 17th century, and it is common in current published
writing. It continues, however, to be widely regarded as an error.

I do have other ptfs to check in this cover letter that show status like
this
Product ID/PTF ID . . . . . . . . . . : 5770999 MF57670

I posted earlier last week about SNDPTFORD failures. Opened a ticket with
IBM and did download a ptf for SNDPTFORD.
Right now I can confirm MF99007 is Perm Applied.
MF99008 is superseded by MF99010 and assume it is NOT installed
MF99009 same....
MF99010 same

Something very odd on your system. Figuring it is a 7.1 lpar, and I
looked at one of our remaining 7.1 lpars, and I see:
Product ID/PTF ID . . . . . . . . . . : 5770999 MF99008

You seem to be missing the line
PTF status . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Permanently applied

Odd. I wonder if they changed this behavior with some PTF yet to be
applied on your system?

Do you have this SQL service yet?

Preparing to load cume and groups V7R1 after not updating this system in a
while.
Very large cover letter for MF99010

......If PTF 5770999-MF99008 is not Permanently applied nor superseded by
a
Permanently applied PTF, there may not be enough reserved loadsource
storage available to install PTF 5770999-MF99010. To prevent the PTF
install from failing with CPF362C (Insufficient storage for Licensed
Internal Code fix), ....

Is MF99008 on our system if all I see is "superseded by MF99010" , but
MF99010 is not loaded, except Cover Letter.

How can a cover letter "supersede" an applied ptf (or am I
misunderstanding
what supersede means...)?
