I installed a feature pack for CICS. It came as a separate FMID. We are having trouble making it work, so I wanted to make sure that we had the latest maintenance for it.
That tells me why you want to install (APPLY) PTFs for a single FMID. It does not answer my question of why you feel it necessary to order and receive PTFs only for that FMID.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, I'll say you are missing the point I and others are trying to make. You can order and RECEIVE all PTFs, but then you can install (APPLY) only the PTFs for the FMID you desire, using FORFMID on the APPLY. There is no harm in having PTFs in your global zone that you don't intend to install, yet. After all, you will have a maintenance cycle eventually, and you will need to APPLY those PTFs eventually, right?
