Rob,
In building my new V7R2 LPAR, creating a combined DSLO image, (all LPP and all PTFs)
Would this .CSV file be the best list to obtain all V7R2 PTFs for my DSLO image.
Paul

I don't think the missing PTF's from the fix summary list is anything clandestine. I think that updating that is a manual process done independently of the PTF cover letter listing and that is the rub.

The .csv file, for which ever release, contains every PTF available for
that release.

No. Only the ones they want to tell you about. There are some not on the
"FIX SUMMARY LISTING", nor in the csv file. Such as MF99202 for 7.3.
These you might only find by searching PTF cover letters.

Looking at the package field, if it states *NONE, these would be any PTF
not part of a CUM or group.

My interpretation is this:
- BASE means it came out with the base OS at GA time.
- C* means the first cume it came out with was that particular one.
- NONE means that it came out after the GA release, and after the last
cume. Whether or not it's on a group, well, you'll have to look
elsewhere.
