RE: Getting up to date on 7.3

You can load latest CUM, latest TR, and all groups all together.

Then option 1 - Set all PTFs delayed.

Apply type . . 1 1=Set all PTFs delayed
2=Apply immediate, set delayed PTFs
3=Apply only immediate PTFs


LPAR will IPL several times to get them all applied.

Subject: Getting up to date on 7.3

It's been a while since I managed OS upgrades.  We're at 7.3 TR3 (yeah,
I know, but at least we're on 7.3!) and we'd like to get current.  I
still get confused with TRs, cumes and groups.  The last I remember, the
belt and suspenders approach was to apply all groups, IPL, then apply
TR6, IPL, and finally apply the cume and IPL.  I don't if this roadmap
makes sense anymore, or if the roads even still exist.  For all I know,
there's a George Jetson jetcar that will take us from TR3 to TR6
magically, although I sort of doubt that.

Any advice from the experts here?  Thanks in advance.
