zOS Service Levels

2007-03-05 Thread Matt Dazzo
What is the difference between service levels (PUTyymm or RSUyymm)?

Is there any preferred method (PUTyymm or RSUyymm) or is it a personal
preference?

Thanks

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).  SHARE-Tampa had a really good session on
this (Session 2829-z/OS Maintenance Best Practices), put on by Greg
Daynes, where there is additional detail on RSU and much more on
maintaining systems.  ... Most helpful.
