This is what the cover letter looks like.
Based on it I should be able to do it without an IPL.
I am going to try the LODPTF and APYPTF tonight.
The one parm in LODPTF I have questions with is SPRPTF (Superseded PTFs)
should I use *APYPERM or *NOAPY?

Weird, I try to display the cover letter at the following and it's pretty
blank.

Since it's for 7.3 I don't want to run SNDPTFORD on my system.
On WRKPRB you should be able to see it there and display the cover letter.
If it's Immediate, and there are no drastic special instructions (like
shutdown TCP/IP or some such thing) then they're generally easy to
install. Actually there might be options to install it from WRKPRB.
Other ways are:
LODPTF followed by APYPTF. Those are pretty safe as neither one has an
option to do an IPL. They should appear on that menu as options 1 and 2.
The one you have to be more cautious about is INSPTF. With INSPTF I
used CHGSRVA PTFINSTYP(*DLYALL) to reduce the risk of accidentally IPLing
the system by the use of INSPTF.
If you ran SNDPTFORD, and it possibly brought down prereqs and cores, then
you might be interested in
INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(*SERVICE) INSTYP(*IMMDLY)
The benefit of INSPTF over the LODPTF/APYPTF combo is that INSPTF has
LICPGM(*ALL) as an option. If your prereqs and coreqs span items, like
both 5770SS1 and 5770999 for example, then you have to run the LODPTF for
each separate product.
The following will start an IPL:
INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(*SERVICE) INSTYP(*DLYIPL)
If you do not change CHGSRVA then the default of
INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(*SERVICE) INSTYP(*SRVATT)
will start an IPL.
Other options for INSTYP are safe but you should read the help
I install PTFs all the time. I do not recall the last time I used the GO
PTF menu.

It has been a long time since I have done a PTF and have not done very
many.
I recently updated my RDi to 9.8.0.0. When I try to do debug it tells me
I
need a PTF, SI84606. I did the PTF order (SNDPTFORD) and that process
went
well. The PTF save file is on the system, with the other stuff that came
with it.
Near as I can tell I do not need to IPL the system for this to take
effect. That is good, my next scheduled IPL is several months away.
Questions to the group:
1. Am I reading SI84606 correctly that no IPL is needed.
2. What is the correct way to install this PTF? Is it GO PTF Option 7
or 8? If so, what should the parms be?
I just don't want to mess up and create an IPL that gets me in hot water.
Thanks in advance.
