RE: Perm vs Temp PTF applies

True, but then I'd be perm applying PTF's that have only been on for a month. Maybe I'm just being paranoid...

Then don't skip a cycle. Before you even go to load your new PTF's do this APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*YES)
Note: You might not want to perm apply Domino PTF's except before upgrading Domino. Some of their companion products have you RMVPTF stuff.

So your cycle would look like this:
APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*YES) DLTPTF PTF(*ALL) Your flavor of SNDPTFORD INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(OPTVRT01) INSTYP(*DLYALL) Go to restricted state.
Do your restricted state save, etc.

We do a full save & PTF's monthly. I've thought about doing a perm apply
on some type of schedule, I've just never seen a compelling reason to skip
new PTF's for it.

Many of our MSP clients apply new PTFs twice a year. There's a nice
cadence...apply temp, three months later apply perm, three months later
apply temp, and so on.
