In my humble opinion every piece of software installed should serviced,
so I sustain the idea of aplying all PTFs.
Disclaimers (exceptions):
- One can have some software installed, but not used.
- I'm not talking about PTFs in error, etc.
- "Up to date" does not necessarily mean "from yesterday", service can
be "seasoned" (cured? matured?).

Hi Radoslaw,
in your note you mentioned the idea to apply all (installable) PTFs.
This idea leads me to the reason for opening this topic. I'm involved in
an IBM project for preventive maintenance packages named CPMz. One major
idea behind this project is "to apply as few PTFs as possible, but as
many PTFs as needed". In order to determine which PTFs are really needed
in a specific environment, besides other subjects we include FIXCAT
data. At that point one of our customers asked me where to find the CICS
FIXCAT data. Because there is no specific category, I thought that there
are no such FIXCATs for CICS, but now I know from the answers here where
to find them.
BTW: For this offering CPMz we although have a customer in Poland, if
you like to hear more about this topic, you may give me a personal note.

Stupid question:
Applying service usually require IPL, which is some inconvenience even
in Sysplex environment (for sure it is in monoplex).
PTF usually require to review some actions, dependencies, etc. -
everything with HOLDSYS().
With some exceptions applying service is not single little PTF, it;s
not daily activity. It's rather some session - mass update, infrequent.
So, it's reaaly good opportunity to apply all the PTFs, especially
those from RSU.
So the question is: Why doesn't one receive "full pack" of service?
ShopzSeries allows to use SMPE reports to order only missing PTFs and
only to the products installed.
Isn't it good idea to have all the components up to date?
