Applying CUM Packages

Cumulative packages can be applied at the same time as individual PTFs.
If you receive the individual PTFs on tape, follow these steps:
1. Place the tape containing the individual PTFs in the tape drive.
2. Enter GO PTF and select option 8 (Install program temporary fix package).
3. Specify Automatic IPL N on the Install Options for Program Temporary Fixes display.

If you receive the individual PTFs through ECS, perform these steps:
1. Enter GO PTF and select option 8 (Install program temporary fix package).
2. Specify *SERVICE for the device parameter, and select N for Automatic IPL.

When the GO PTF command is used to install PTFs from *SERVICE, all PTFs in *SERVICE not already installed are installed.
*SERVICE means that the PTF exists in a save file in the QGPL library and that the system checks for these PTFs during the installation process.
