Updating to latest Jumbo Hotfix

Hello,

We are currently on Take 216, is updating straight to 317 recommended since there have been many changes or is it advisable to update to a Take in between like 292 before going to 317?  

Thanks,

David

Generally it's safe to go to the latest recommend jumbo hotfix directly.

CPUSE will take a snapshot, Uninstall the older jumbo, and install the new hotfix.

How does CPUSE take the snapshot? Is the process different for VSX?  I am running r77.30 if that makes a difference.

I always used this command to do the snapshot, "add snapshot VALUE desc VALUE"

How would I uninstall the older jumbo?  Is there a specific command?

I always just installed the latest HF and never bothered to uninstall the old one.

I will admit, I don't know the underlying process CPUSE uses to do the snapshots, but assume its similar for gateway and VSX.

Note that when you install a newer jumbo hotfix, CPUSE will uninstall the older ones automatically.

But if you wanted to uninstall a hotfix, you would use the command installer uninstall.

My prefered way to install a Jumbo Hotfix is to use clish

installer import .....

installer download .....

installer verify .....

installer install ......
