Required: Installing Prepare for install PTFs for V5R2 and V5R3

Situations can arise that require specific program temporary fixes (PTFs) before you can install a new release.

Before you can install V5R4, you must temporarily apply PTFs from the Prepare for install PTFs for V5R1, V5R2, and V5R3, SK3T-8163, CD-ROM to be able to accept online software agreements for V5R4 licensed programs and to allocate additional space needed for V5R4.

Important: You need to accept the licensed agreements for Licensed Internal Code and the operating system before you can upgrade. If you do not accept the agreements, the installation of Licensed Internal Code will not be allowed to continue.

The Prepare for install PTFs for V5R1, V5R2, and V5R3 CD-ROM is included with your V5R4 software media. You need to temporarily apply the appropriate PTF to the current release before you upgrade.

To install the prepare for install PTFs for V5R2 and V5R3, follow these steps:

Locate the CD-ROM labeled Prepare for install PTFs for V5R1, V5R2, and V5R3.
Load the CD-ROM in the optical device.
Type the following command and press Enter:
INSPTF LICPGM(*ALL) DEV(OPTxx) INSTYP(*IMMDLY)

For V5R2, the server applies 5722999 MF33218, MF36351, MF36329, and MF36330; 5722SS1 SI18930 and its associated PTF for the installed national languages for your current release.

For V5R3, the server applies 5722999 MF33150, MF36276, and MF36280; 5722SS1 SI19058 and SI14190 along with its associated PTF for the installed national languages for your current release.

Steps for using the functions of the PTF are included in the preparation process under Required: Accepting software agreements and Required: Allocating additional space for Licensed Internal Code.

Note: You might need to perform an initial program load (IPL) of the system after you install PTFs MF36351 or MF36276. Check the status of these PTFs to verify whether you need to perform an IPL.
