RE: Perm vs Temp PTF applies

Jack-- I re-read your previous notes-- MF61435 is there. That's a good thing!

Do you know if MF99009 was permanently installed before you loaded the latest PTFs? That is, did this round of PTFs skip MF99010 and go right to MF99011?

If so, then the instructions in Step 4 to unmark the PTFs and RMVPTF MF99011.

At that point I'd want to see the status of PTF MF99009... if it's not there, then on to steps 5-9.

Rob-- it sounds like MF61435 will (hopefully) prevent the need to slip the LIC...

Okay, I'm ready to try that but I'm worried about instruction 4.


* If MF99010 or MF99011 is not found on the system, continue with step
5.*

*NOTE: If MF99010 or MF99011 is already loaded onto the system (Not applied
status), check if PTF MF61435 is applied to the system.DSPPTF
LICPGM(5770999) SELECT(MF61435)If MF61435 is not applied or not found on
the system, then the recommendation is to slip LIC and do not continue with
these instructions. Without this fix being temporarily or permanently
applied, there is a potential for the system to crash when removing or
unmarking PTFs. See NOTE 1 .If MF61435 is temp or perm applied to the
system, first unmark PTFs, and then remove MF99010 or MF99011:*
MF99010 is listed as "superseded". MF99011 is "not applied" ... it's in the
batch I loaded today (that didn't apply).

Should I still proceed as you described?

GO LICPGM

Then
DSPPTF 5770999
and see if they are all permanently applied.

You're getting close to having to 'slip the lic'...
but try this first.

For 3.

2. Permanently apply all LIC (5770999) fixes. This can be done
immediately when the system is running on the B side using the following
command:

APYPTF LICPGM(5770999) SELECT(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*NO)


When I try that, I get program messages that a whole bunch of MFxxxxx
PTFs not applied permanently:

e.g.,

PTF MF61476 not applied permanently. PTF MF60772 required.
PTF MF61476 not applied permanently. PTF MF60685 required.
PTF MF61476 not applied permanently. PTF MF64580 required.

ad inifinitum ...
