Ease up on the person. Too much and then it's like 3 fingers pointing at
you for each pointing at someone else (look at your hand while pointing).
You could look at the date applied. It probably matches some IPL. There's
nothing wrong with permanently applying ptfs after some time. It's
actually a good thing. It saves space. And, reduces all those PTF backup
files from being left over after a release upgrade. There's nothing that
I know of in the OS to automatically permanently apply PTFs.
The only caveat to not permanently apply are 'test' ptf's, and, certain
domino hotfixes.

I am going to assume that the QS9AUTOPTF job was always there. Still
leaves me wondering, though - there were hundreds of temp applied PTFs
. All are now perm.
Is there some magic PTF from IBM that would have been applied that would
have set all to perm, and then deleted itself?
I'm trying to understand what may have happened. The antisocial person
might have decided, for whatever reason, to perm apply PTFs. Or, could
have been something with the automatic process.
To your knowledge, is there any automated PTF process that would PERM
apply
all TEMP applied PTFs after some period? I do not see any such parameter
in CHGSRVAGTA to effect that.

That is exactly what GO SERVICE shows.
Thus, my original question as far as what >might< have happened. I have
no
idea if the anti-social person (just how antisocial can somebody be to
their own boss and STILL have a job) got a bill for service director and
cancelled it, or if he jst got into a snit. Why the library is gone,
the scheduled job remains.days,
Oh wait - this just hit me. Maybe at an earlier release - v4r5 or
earlier,
service director was an added thing, like TCP/IP was back in the v2
and later it was put into the OS and thus the job schedule entry is<midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
vestigal from ancient days. Does that make sense?

there is job scheduler entry on our system (v5r4m0) named AUTOPTF.
It is set to run on Mondays at 01:00:00.
The command is CALL PGM(SVCDRCTR/AUTOPTF).
That library does not exist, and, therefore the job submission fails.
The person who formerly tended to things, has never communicated to
others,
even to our mutual boss what he did or why.
Can anybody tell me if Service Director was abandoned and while the
library
was removed the scheduled job just slipped through?
Or, is that a separate maintenance thing, with the same result that it
removed but job scheduler entry remained?cause
I am not eager to remove things without a good reason. This doesn't
harm, but appears to be useless. I can't get any answers here.list
