Concur Google for "z os maintenance best practices"
In my search, the second hit was "z/OS Preventive Maintenance Strategy to Maintain System Availability" From near the end: "It is suggested to upgrade two to four times per year to the latest RSU Preventive Maintenance that is available. HIPER and PE fixes should be reviewed weekly, and installed weekly or monthly if possible. HIPER fixes can be ordered and received for immediate installation if needed. Security/Integrity APARs and Red Alerts should also be monitored regularly." HTH, <snip> Our auditors (Feds) say we need to apply all new PTF's within 30 days of availability. I'm speechless. Does anyone have the patience to form a cogent argument without laughing, crying, or tying one on? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
