Re: Service on second level system

[Harris, Nick J.]

I expected to see something newer than 0801.

I applied COR PTFs to run on a z/196 so I understand the service level won't 
change.  All is well.  Thanks for your response.



Thanks,
Nick

Did you apply an RSU or did you apply specific PTFs?  Only an RSU will change 
the Service Level number.  (The concept of "Service Level" is nice.
 In practice, however, it leaves something to be desired.)

More importantly, what were you expecting to see?

Service on second level system

[Harris, Nick J.]

Hello All,
I have successfully applied service to a second level z/VM and after a PUT2PROD 
and an IPL I expected to see something other than 0801 below...

q cplevel
z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0, service level 0801 (64-bit)
Generated at 04/07/11 09:13:34 CDT
IPL at 04/07/11 11:13:52 CDT
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 11:24:32

What am I missing?

TIA!
