PTF usage: RESTORE is the opposite of APPLY; REJECT is the opposite of RECEIVE
Line 61:
# ''Receive and apply'' the PTF to the production system and monitor its effects for several weeks
 
If the system is adversely affected by the PTF, a [[system administrator]] may sometimes ''rejectrestore'' (un-apply) the PTF and seek further support from IBM. However, if no problems are found after the PTF is applied, it can be permanently installed, ''accepted'', or ''committed'', to the system.
 
These repairs to IBM software are often in response to APARs submitted by customers and others and acted on by IBM, and are a common first step to resolving software errors. It is generally expected by the customer that the problem would be fully corrected in the next release (version) of the relevant product.
