>>What is the difference between service levels (PUTyymm or RSUyymm)?
The way I understand, PUT level is when the PTF was made available. Once the PTF is available it is run through IBM's quarterly QA test, what IBM calls Consolidated Service Test. Their QA system is a 'Customer Like' system with zOS, DB2, CICS, IMS MQ and WAS, so is is a good test of how the ptf will perform in a "real" environment. Once the ptf passes CST, it is assigned the RSU value of that QTRly Test. I had the same question(s).
