You really don't need to do anything if you have current holddata and aren't in the habit of bypassing error holds when you do your applies. When you accept the supping PTF it will go away from the global zone if your cleanup options are set to purge the SMPPTS MCS entries after accept. If they are not, you have to REJECT the PTF from the global zone. If you are really worried about accidentally applying it, you can REJECT it from the global zone now. But if you do that, it could get received again if you do receives for general maintenance (either based on uploaded rpt or SMP/E 3.4 receive order). Just because the PTF is PE doesn't mean it can't be ordered. This is because you may still want to apply a PE PTF if the problem it fixes is worse than the problem it causes or perhaps the PE is something that doesn't affect your environment but the original problem addressed by the APAR does.
