Re: V7R1 to V7R3 upgrade prep - perm apply PTFs

No. It gets ride of the saved code that is kept allowing you to remove the PTF. It's likely that will be a save file but in the library where the PTF was applied. The save files in QGPL that are used to apply PTFs with *SERVICE or DEV(*SAVF) must be cleaned up manually.

Paul:

You need to think about where the PTF is.  The Permanent area is different from the temp area, we all know that.  Applying the PTF permanently requires the system to copy that code into the perm area. If the object is
active it can't do that.   As you discovered most PTFs will it copy, there
are those in the LIC and in OS that are always active and can't be copied.

 I'm preparing for this weekend's final V7R1 to V7R3 upgrade,

 APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*NO)

 There are about 20 SI PTFS, that remained temporarily applied,
 requiring an IPL to perm apply.
 I thought once a PTF was applied, an IPL was no longer needed.

 Any thoughts from the group?

  Cause . . . . . :   The requested PTF is a delayed PTF and cannot be
    permanently applied using the DELAYED (*NO) parameter of the Apply PTF
    (APYPTF) command.
  Recovery  . . . :   Delayed PTFs can only be applied when the system is
    initially started (at IPL).
