CL Command Reference - INSPTF
CL Command List > INSPTF Reference
Description:
The Install Program Temporary Fix (INSPTF) command allows the user to load and apply PTFs for multiple products with a single command. PTF groups will be copied to the system when they do not already exist on the system or when the level of the PTF group on the media is higher than the level of the PTF group that exists on the system. If LICPGM(*ALL) is specified, any special handling PTFs listed in PTF groups on the media will be used during the install.
The OMIT and HIPER parameters are supplied to allow the user of the INSPTF command to be more selective. These parameters apply only to the PTF loading activity. Any PTF already loaded on the system will be applied.
The INSTYP parameter controls the apply of the PTFs. Using the different special values allows immediate and delayed apply combinations as well as starting an IPL.
INSPTF does not support loading PTFs from tape for products that have multiple releases of the base option installed on the system. If PTFs for such a product exist on the tape, the INSPTF will not load those PTFs and will return an error.
Examples:
Example 1: Omitting PTFs
INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(*SERVICE) INSTYP(*IMMDLY)
OMIT((5722999 MF12345 V5R4M0)
(5722SS1 SI12345 V5R4M0))
This command will load all PTFs that are in *SERVICE for all products installed on the system except MF12345 and SI12345. It will then apply all PTFs in loaded status that can be applied immediately and mark the rest for delayed apply.
Example 2: Installing HIPER only
INSPTF LICPGM((5722PT1 V5R4M0)) DEV(TAP01) INSTYP(*IMMONLY)
HIPER(*YES)
This command will search the media for PTFs for the V5R4M0 Performance Tools product in the HIPER section. Each PTF that can be applied immediately will be. Delayed PTFs will be loaded, but not marked for apply.
Example 3: Installing Only Immediate PTFs
INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(TAP01) INSTYP(*IMMONLY)
ENDOPT(*LEAVE)
This command will load all PTFs for the products that are installed on the system, from the device TAP01. All PTFs in loaded status on the system that can be applied immediately will be. No delayed PTFs will be set for apply.
