By design PTF's only get tagged an RSU level I think every 2-3 months, which is why we do quarterly RSU levels 3,6,9,12. We have been doing it this way for 5 years and have not had to many headaches. Ibm did have issues when we rolled z/os 1.9 to early and needed RSUxx03+many hipers to be stable. The other saving grace is IBM stopped accepting all maintanence when a serverpac is delivered and you then have the ability to restore the broken ptf's.

Mainly I guess because this process was set up prior to RSU's. :) But seriously, sometimes a PTF will be in PUT1001 but RSU1002. RSU's only save about 20%, IIRC, and it seems like half the time some schmuck will want a PTF on that wasn't in the RSU. But I'm open to debate...go ahead, change my mind! :) Mary Anne ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html This communication is for informational purposes only.
