Hello,
When I did the apply check, I got the file allocation report, which
talks about the changes going to apply on these particular dataset.
My root file system is OMVS.SYSE18.ROOT, which is going to modify as per
the report. I am using this root file system . So I want to the process
to apply changes on this .
Actually...as at least one other person has said, you probably do *not*
want to apply changes to the one you are running from. It is quite
reasonable to think you want that, but we currently do not support the
installation of service on the copy being used by a running system. The
probability of disaster increases dramatically with the number of PTFs
being installed...and an RSU will probably pull in a lot of them.
Do I have to create the service directory and copy all these over there
and apply changes there or any other process I can use it .

There is a cloning procedure described in the z/OS Planning for
Installation book, with DFSMSdss-based samples in SAMPLIB. You will
have to modify it for your system (and you will have to translate if you
use FDR or something else in place of DFSMSdss).
After you make a clone, update the DDDEFs to point to the clone, and
mount the cloned filesystem on the appropriate service mount point, you
can apply the service. Make sure you understand how to get the DDDEFs
to point to the right data sets and the right file system. Then, after
the service has been installed, IPL from the clone.
