Re: Technology Refresh 4

[Tommy.Holden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Has anyone else applied this?  After applying it to my test LPAR it still 
shows Technology Refresh at Level 3.  It is permanently applied so my 
assumption (bad word I know) was that WRKPTFGRP would show TR @ level 4?

Read the cover letter on MF99004 carefully:

     It supersedes 738 MF PTFs (Possibly a record!)
     A SAVSYS is requested (I would say REQUIRED) before applying this 
PTF.
     It requires ALL MF PTFs be permanently applied prior to itself 
being applied.
     It also must be permanently applied.
     If you are upgrading from an image catalog this PTF must be on the 
image catalog.
     It may change sysval QPRCMLTTSK or processor multitasking mode.

group PTF hasn't been updated yet, MF99004 is out there.  We were working 
on a problem after a recent IBM I 7.1 upgrade, and IBM has recommended us 
to install the PTF.  Just remember that this is a delayed PTF, and might 
be pulled in when ordering a PTF if it is in the dependency list.
