RE: Action required on applied PTFs

["Paul Nelson" <nelsonp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you miss something in the cover letters?

Have you rebooted? Some PTF's require they be permanently applied before
subsequent PTF's can be applied. When I see this type of thing, I use the
APYPTF and reboot a couple of times each.

Make sure that you have read the cover letters.

What does "action required" mean on a PTF that has been applied?  I have 138
such PTFs, some permanently applied.  Here's a little snip of an outfile
query:
