Or better still, learn to use an IPLer for loading different CMS levels.

VMFREM of the RSU PTF number wouldn't work if you ask me. The RSU PTF
number is just an easy way to order the RSU by using the service ordering
procedures.
And, PUT2PROD, yes, that's the one I don't like: it makes that e.g. MAINT
190 and 490 become identical, there goes your fallback. I change the
directory entry of MAINT (and friends) to make the 490 become 190, swap 193
with 493 etc.
2007/11/14, Hooker, Don <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm applying an RSU to our z/VM 5.2 system. I've already run the
SERVICE exec against the envelope files and plan to do the PUT2PROD just
before a scheduled weekend IPL.
I've been asked how to back it out if there are problems. Rather than
volume and/or minidisk restores, can I just use VMFREM to back out the
service?
Would I use: VMFREM PPF SERVP2P <compname> PTF UM97520 (which was the
PTF number for the RSU) against every affected component? (The
components listed in the SERVICE $PRODS file). Then IPL?
Would that work? Is there another/better way?
Thanks in advance.
Don
