<h1 class="topictitle1">Advanced fix installation: Apply fixes</h1>
<div><p>Find out how to apply one, some, or all of your fixes with the
Apply Program Temporary Fix (APYPTF) command.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Typically, use option 8 from the GO PTF menu to install your fixes.
However, you can encounter some situations where you need to perform the separate
steps of loading the fixes and then applying the fixes.</p>
<p>Some fixes cannot
be applied immediately because the operating system or licensed programs they
affect are active. These fixes are called delayed fixes and can be applied
only at the next system initial program load (IPL). Immediate fixes can be
applied without doing an IPL if the licensed program they affect is not in
use, or may be applied like delayed fixes when you do the next IPL.</p>
<p>Fixes
generally should be installed when received. Installing fixes allows you to
test them in your operational environment. You should ensure that the new
fixes operate properly on your system before permanently installing them.
As long as the fixes are installed temporarily, they can be removed. Once
they have been installed permanently, they cannot be removed.</p>
<p>When you
are sure that the Licensed Internal Code fixes work properly, it is recommended
that you install them permanently to reduce the time required to install the
next cumulative PTF package, and to make available the storage for future
fixes. If this storage is not made available, you will need to permanently
install some of your Licensed Internal Code fixes before you can temporarily
install any additional fixes. Temporarily installed Licensed Internal Code
fixes are only in effect when you use the B storage area to perform
an IPL.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> </div>
</div>
<ol><li><span>You cannot apply or remove fixes with mandatory special instructions
when *ALL is specified on the PTF numbers to select (SELECT) parameter of
Apply Program Temporary Fix (APYPTF) or Remove Program Temporary Fix (RMVPTF)
commands. These PTFs are only applied or removed when they are specified by
a number on the SELECT parameter. This protects against applying or removing
fixes without reading the mandatory special instructions.</span></li>
<li><span>The term fix, in this context, refers to Licensed Internal Code
fixes and licensed program fixes, including <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> program
fixes.</span></li>
<li><span>When installing fixes, other fixes can be specified as requisites
for the fix. These different types include <em>prerequisite fixes</em> and <em>corequisite
fixes</em>. Each type has a different relationship with the fix that you are
trying to apply.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><p>Fixes can be applied (made active) on either a temporary or permanent
basis. If the fix is applied temporarily (also known as installed), a copy
of the object being changed is saved. If the fix is applied permanently (also
known as permanently installed), the old object is removed. Permanently applied
fixes cannot be removed. You can also apply fixes during an attended IPL or
during an unattended IPL. The following tasks provide you with instructions
on how you can apply fixes:</p>
