Was there a HOLD(ACTION) [or it might need to be
HOLD(DEPENDENT?) - I forget] against these APARs (or the
Fix PTFs)? If not, a BIG "PACKAGING PROBLEM" report
should be filed with IBM since this dependency should have
been mentioned so as to suppress accidental installation as
occurred to you ...
The above comment is mine. I am willing to accept that IBM was
initially unaware of the problem. A mention was made in this thread
that they NOW are aware of the problem. My question right now is if I
were to pull the affected PTFs from IBMLINK (or order a
catch-up/cumulative PTF Tape [I forget the name of the service that
this is provided as]) as well as pulling Extended HOLD, will there be
a ++HOLD in the supplied PTF or the Extended HOLD that will block
automatic installation until the HOLD is bypassed?
