Keeping PTFs up to date
Hi,We have 5 AS/400's. All our systems are local.
We apply the ptf's about 3 weeks after they are published in APAR to our 2
AS/400 Test systems. We monitor the systems for about 2 weeks and run some
specific key
reports. If everything is ok then we apply them to Production systems. We do
not use Op. Nav. for PTF apply.
Twice a year we order also the Hyper PTF's and apply them using the above
methodology.
Up till now we don't have any problem with this procedure.
It is a good thing to order the PTF's as soon as they are out, because if you
run into any problems you may be asked from SAP or IBM to apply them.
Regards,

- We typically only apply system maintenance 1-2 times per year
- We are not leading edge on putting a ptf on as soon as it hits the
APAR - we can't afford to find a bad ptf
What if you need support from IBM/SAP Hotline?
The very first question they used to ask is "do you have applied all of the
latest ptfs to your system? If not do so and then call again..."
Just to avoid this waste of time in case of trouble we keep up to date with
ptfs.

- All 7 of our systems are local
- We typically only apply system maintenance 1-2 times per year
- We are not leading edge on putting a ptf on as soon as it hits the
APAR - we can't afford to find a bad ptf
- We apply to DEV/TST box about 1 month prior to any other hardware
- I'm too frugal to purchase ops navigator for all the boxes

Hi Guys/Girls,
is this a non issue?
I only saw one reply from Franz. Having supported a lot of As/400's
remotely I know that can be a problem.
Would you please kindly share your thoughts?
Thanks
Martin

Hi group,
I got a question for all you guys having more than 1 AS/400 system.
How do you take care of keeping all your system on the same PTF level
(SAP PTFs, group and CUM PTFs). Is that a manual process in your
company or do you use any tools/application that does
the "synchronization" for you? And if you have any remote systems how
do you send your PTFs across the network (using FTP and just send the
save files over)? And for locations with "slow-speed connections" how
do you get the PTFs there? Just sending the CDs?
Also, when you put new PTFs on your system are you actually testing
those first before you load them on your production system? And if
yes, how do you control which PTFs are currently being tested (and
should not/cannot be loaded on the production system? I would see
that as "kind of easy" if you have a small group of people but in a
bigger environment that could easily get out of hand.
And if you test your PTFs what do you do when during the test you
need to install a single but very important PTF on all your system.
That could have an impact on your PTF testing.
Thanks for any comments and feedback.
Gerd
