You need to get the HTTP, DB, and Java groups at the same time for sure (IBM has said to do this for a long time). If you use WebSphere, you need to get that one at the same time. You also need to check the cover letters to see if you need to be at a certain Cume level before applying the groups.

From: Aaron Bartell
I know how to do searches for specific PTF's, but how do I just get myself
up to date with _all_ the most recent PTF's in regards to Apache? Is that
what a Cumulative is? I did a search for qzhbcgiparse but that didn't
reveal anything for V5R3.
Someone will be able to give you a more precise definition, but to my simple
brain it goes like this:
1. Cumulative (cume) PTFs give you all the PTFs currently available for the
operating system. Back in the day, that was all you needed, and then you
cherry picked among the HIPERS to see if you needed any of those.
2. Group PTFs are newer, and they segregate out PTFs for certain portions of
the operating system. In particular, there is an HTTP group which would
include the Apache fixes.
So, in your case I'd probably want to at the very least get the HTTP group,
although somebody will probably tell you that it's important to get the
cumes as well. Of course, I just did this (see my tech tip tomorrow) and
the cumes and groups for my little 270 are 3.6GB.
