The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

If you order a PTF on one system, and copy the save file over to another and install from that save file the save file is not "registered" as part of the PTF. So, when it comes cleanup time it gets left behind. UPDPTFINF fixes this.
When you order a PTF, and apply it temporarily or permanently it still leaves the save file from before you loaded it and applied it on your system. If you do the DLTPTF it removes that save file and removes the cover letter members from QGPL/QAPZCOVER. RMVPTF is for actually taking a PTF off of your system, not just deleting the crumbs left behind that DLTPTF does. I reserve RMVPTF for defective PTF's.
When you apply a ptf temporarily it saves the objects it's going to replace to special things. Used to be pretty obvious save files but they're getting a little harder to find. These save copies is what enables RMVPTF to work. When you apply a ptf permanently it removes these backups and you can no longer do a RMVPTF. Frees up space. If you do not apply your ptf's permanently before you do an OS upgrade then you will have to manually hunt down and delete these storage spaces.
