Re: Two-stage upgrade: PTFs on intermediate release?

[Pete Massiello <pmassiello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jay,

   it really is NOT superseded by V5R1, since the base of V5R1 is what
the V5R1 cumPTF is applied to.  You don't "grow" from V4R4
to V5R1, you replace the software.

   Its a good idea to be up to date in PTFs on the release your
upgrading from, so it makes sense.  In addition, if you plan on doing
these one after the other, you want to apply the CumPTF to V4R4, so that
you have an IPL, and allow INZSYS to complete after the first IPL.

   I wouldn't do the upgrade without applying the PTFs at V4R4.

   JMHO
