RE: How To Permanently Apply PTF's

[Jerry Adams <Jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roger,

Thanks.  But what happens if later for some reason you need to remove a PTF?  Rare, perhaps, but it could happen.  And if I recall correctly, one cannot remove a permanently applied PTF.

I have heard that it's a good idea to perm apply before release upgrades.  Not pressed for disk space right now (64% after downloading the groups and cume).

Jerry,

Here is what I use:
  APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL)  APY(*PERM)  DELAYED(*YES)  IPLAPY(*YES)

I always apply everything *PERM before doing the next set of groups, hipers, or cume.

Subject: How To Permanently Apply PTF's

I have a couple of PTF's that say that some preceding PTF's (which I already have installed) must be permanently applied.  I don't recall ever permanently applying a PTF (at least not deliberately).  Is it just a matter of running the APYPTF command

                     Apply Program Temporary Fix (APYPTF)

Type choices, press Enter.

Product  . . . . . . . . . . . . LICPGM
Release  . . . . . . . . . . . . RLS            *ONLY
PTF numbers to select  . . . . . SELECT         *ALL
                          + for more values
PTF numbers to omit  . . . . . . OMIT
                          + for more values
Extent of change . . . . . . . . APY            *TEMP
Delayed PTFs . . . . . . . . . . DELAYED        *NO
IPL apply options:               IPLAPY
  Apply at unattended IPL  . . .                *YES
  Prerequisite lic int code  . .                *APYPERM
Apply requisite PTFs . . . . . . APYREQ         *NO

filling in the PTF numbers in the Select option and changing the Apy option to *Perm?
