Subject: Re: When should we ACCEPT DB2 PTFs?
I NEVER accept PTFS - but for an entirely different reason
I like to build meaningful reports as to what has been applied - when applied,
the corresponding APAR#, a description, is it hiper? The RSU to which it
belongs, and the owning product affected
I can't recall ever seeing such an ACCEPT recommendation from IBM,
probably because your own installation maintenance practices play such a
major role here.
The only reason for not ACCEPTing PTFs (USERMODS and APAR fixes should
typically never be accepted) is because you might need to RESTORE a
IMO, the short answer is just before the next APPLY.

That's the hard way. It is much easier to receive current hold

As you know, each DB2 RSU PTF package contains hundreds of PTFs.

When an Apply is done, any PTFs which are marked as being in error
will not be Applied.
So? That doesn't help if the error is not discovered until after you
do the APPLY.
I agree

My approach is to perform a backup and document of every major DB2 maintenance
cycle. If I have relatively stable code I will accept what I have in production
before starting a new cycle knowing full well I could revert to someting even
earlier if need be.
I am curious what usermod would have

It's the same issue as for any other component or product. pick an
