Hi Mike/John,
I did ran a REPORT MISSINGFIX against required service driver fixcat and
found two ptf which were missing. I am kind of surprised too that these
PTFs didn't show up in RSU1806 and there's source was PUT1803.
Whether PTFs are marked RSU depends on the PTF close dates and the
quarterly RSU testing dates.
The moral of the story: Just use current HOLDDATA and REPORT MISSINGFIX
to identify the PTFs you need for new processors (and for anything else
we provide FIXCAT HOLDs for, too!).
I highly recommend that people not rely on the PSP (it is accurate, but
the manual process involved in checking the requirements that way is
error-prone), or PUTnnnn levels, or RSUnnnn levels to provide hardware
or functional support.
