RE: PTF V7R2

Solved! It was not an abnormal IPL. There were no available PTF when I started. I ordered two ptfs SF99720 and Sf99721.. Cume and all groups. Go PTF Option 8 - Install program temporary fix package

Device = *service and prompt for media 3.

Then the IPL.

Management central collect inventory and select available showed 452 available. Select them and set to apply at next IPL and it failed. Selected all and said to clean up and it failed. All the groups were showing as installed. Hmm

Ok I selected all the SS1 PTF and ran the clean up. They went away. Yea. Did that for each individual licensed program.

No more available PTFs. Yea.... Next select all PTFs with Save File and clean them up, one licensed program at a time. No more save files.

Select all with cover letters, none found.

My PTF data base now is cleaned up. Why after downloading the two groups and installing them I ended up with 452 available I do not know.

Why the install failed, well probably because they were actually installed.

When the clean up attempt at all 452 failed, when IBM must have a limit. But cleaning up one licensed program at a time worked.

Jim,
If they are showing as "Available" on a DSPPTF OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) then it is unlikely they are applied.

If they are "Available" but "Unattended IPL action" says they'll get applied then maybe another IPL may be in order as the first IPL may have been an "abnormal" ipl. Quite common if you ran any ENDJOBABN's recently.

It's highly likely those ptfs have been applied. You'll have to spot check
them.

It's showing up that way because the save files are in QGPL, and it does not
know if they are installed or not.

WRKOBJPDM QGPL OBJATR(*SAVF) OBJ(Q*) will let you get right to those save
files.

We just loaded the latest cumes and groups on a V7R2 system. Ran through
the whole process including and IPL. Recollected the inventory for fixes
and it is showing many (452) fixes as available. All groups show installed
and current.

I ran the cleanup and these are still showing as available. They all have
save files. Do I have to apply them all individually?

I selected them all and said to install but they all get skipped. How do I
get rid of them all and clean up the PTF database?
