Thanks for the replies.
I ordered UJ01255, it had PUT2001 (no RSUnnnn 8 months later).
I did raise the issue with support, was told :
UJ01255 was not included in RSU2001.
It didn't not meet the following criteria:
-Severity 1 or 2
-HIPER
-PEFIX
-Security/integrity
-Special Attention
-Pervasiveness
I've read/heard that one should order RECOMMENDED, then apply srcid(RSUnnnn).
I did an ORDER-ALL today for zos 2.3 & got 490 PTFs more than I got 2 weeks ago
for RECOMENDED.
20 of them has RSU2008, 391 had PUTnnnn.
So if I apply RSU**, I'll miss 391+ PTFs.
How do you guys do apply, srcid(PUTnnnn)?
IBM's, and my personal recommendation, is to apply SOURCEID(RSU*).
Order ALL, as there is no harm in having a PTF in your hands, but APPLY
SOURCEID(RSU*). PTFs which have not yet been assigned an RSU* sourceid
are not yet recommended by IBM. The time line in which a PTF gets
recommended depends on a number of factors which you identified, but
even the low severity PTFs will eventually be recommended, after it goes
through IBM's Consolidated Service Test cycle. It is usually ~90 days,
but depending on schedules it can take up to ~180 days for a given PTF.

Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs.
