Ah, a “therapeutic IPL”. 😊 From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on behalf of Pommier, Rex <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, 11 February 2025 at 17:28 To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Scheduled IPL Frequency Both/and?
I used to work for a site that was rather static software-change wise. Unless we needed to IPL for an upgrade or PTF install, the system got IPLed spring and fall at time change - namely because we had application software that couldn't handle the time change. My current job we IPL monthly just to keep things cleaned up.
