Step 1.1 – Start new ADHOC Activity

This step starts a new ad hoc PTF cycle for applying PTFs to the system.

1. Select Minor Step 1, Start new ADHOC Activity.

   The current maintenance level and an assigned ad hoc cycle ID number are displayed.

   If the previous APPLY ad hoc PTF cycle has not yet been completed (Step 1.7 - APPLY the PTFs was started, but Step 1.12 - ACCEPT APPLYed PTFs was not reached) a message is displayed. It is recommended that you first complete the previous cycle (at least up to the ACCEPT step) before you start a new cycle.

2. Press PF3 (END) to continue the process by returning to the Minor Steps Selection panel. To exit without continuing, enter CANCEL in the command line.

   Pressing PF3 initiates the new ad hoc PTF cycle. All log and status information from the previous cycle is deleted and it is no longer possible to return to the previous cycle.
