The sample I’ve provided was an actual RSU install. The exclude was PTF’s that needed to be excluded for various reasons. Most likely PTF’s in error. As for defaults that don’t need coded, who cares? Defaults are nice to show for people who aren’t privy to them. The other SMPWRK & SYSUT were most likely generated by SMP/e and meaningless to his question but I know how you like to show everyone your special intelligence. This example was from 2017 when I was installing & maintaining DB2.

I do the same thing that the OP is doing. My reason is that I can get the ones the "need" to be excluded from the applychk, but since he is doing a RSU, he likely wants everything that is not going to fail because of failed or missing prereqs. Coding defaults never hurts though. As far as getting through the 134 PTF's you pretty much have to look at them all and see if the action is going to need you to do something that you can't or don't want to do or will affect something poorly in your system. It's difficult to tell you for sure without knowing anything about your site and if the required actions are going to present a problem for you. If it helps, most of the actions are likely fairly benign things, but again, it's difficult to tell you without specific knowledge of the action items in question.
