RE: Easiest PTF Upgrade Retrieval

Rob,

I've seen that when a new TR is involved.
The TR requires a marker PTF (which requires an IPL) to be applied.

Then the TR requires an IPL to be applied.

Oh crud. Looks like we're in for a double IPL on all systems at our next downtime.
INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) INSTYP(*DLYALL)
PTF 5770999-MF99203 V7R3M0 requires IPL.
IPL required to complete PTF install processing.

So far it looks like SNDPTFORD SF99730 brings down:
- cume
- hiper group
- DB2 group

DSPPTF 5770999
PTF
ID Status
TL17283 Save file only
TL17061 Permanently applied
...
MF99203 Save file only
MF99202 Permanently applied
MF99201 Permanently applied
MF64391 Save file only
MF64384 Save file only
...

So a cume may not bring down a group (other than hiper and DB2). But are
the PTF's on that group eventually all included on a cume?

Next step:
INSPTF these
IPL the system
SNDPTFORD SF99727
and see how many PTF's come down.
