Re: Installing Java
Each ptf of JAVA is a full replacement. You only need the "last" PTF. Next time you order maintenance or code, specify "eliminate supersedes" when placing you order. BTW, this means any modifications to the java source provided will need to be reinstalled each time JAVA is updated.

Re: Installing Java
If the Java service is packaged correctly then SMP will only install the most recent PTF that you request. However, it will also install the FUNCTION. That will not cause duplicate elements. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: Installing Java
Hi Gadi AMV"SH, If later PTFs are truly replacements, the hierarchy of PTFs should be that every new PTF should SUPersede any old one. This means that only the last one actually gets installed.

Re: Installing Java
hi Gadi, Perhaps the hold data will allow the APPLY job to figure out that only the latest ones in the chain actually need to be applied. Ones in the chain may be superseded, so it's always worth an APPLY CHECK to see what's going on. When downloading, the packaging system may be blindly pulling together related fixes, but I'm hoping the SMPHOLD will make the actual apply make sense. - KB ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Tuesday, June 30, 2020 12:44 PM, Gadi Ben-Avi wrote: > Hi, > When I ordered z/OS v2.4, I only ordered the 64 bit version of Java. > When we tried to start PFA, it failed.
