Re: PTF V7R2

Clearly it depends on their status. Since I always tell my customers to download the groups/cumulative, 90% of the time PTFs in save files were applied that way.

I don’t like large downloads of save file PTFs since it’s to easy to forget them. It’s also way easier to use an image catalog. Also deals with co/pre requisite issues.

Time to start lots of load/apply steps.

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?
