RE: Perm vs Temp PTF applies

We only explicitly perm apply as part of OS upgrades.

Subject: Perm vs Temp PTF applies

So I've run across something interesting. I was talking with someone about applying the latest cume / group PTF on a V7R1 server that has not had PTF's applied in over 3 years. When I asked if the existing PTF's had been perm applied, the response I got was that they never apply the PTF's perm but keep applying temp.

Does anyone else do this? I've always done the apply cume temp, let it bake until the next pack comes out, apply perm before SAVSYS (at least), then apply next cume pack.

Is this not the way of PTF care and feeding?

Thanks

Robert
