You don’t necessairly have to wait until no one is using the system to INSPTF (APYPTF). Many of them are immediate PTFs and can be put on immediately.
Q:
PTF for AS400
what is the difference between APYPTF and INSPTF command

Hi,
The APYPTF (apply PTF) applies PTF's that are already loaded on the system (using the LODPTF command). The INSPTF (install PTF) command loads and applies PTF's in one step.
Loading the PTF's and later applying them can save you time - you can load the PTF's while the system is being used through the week and later apply them when the system is not being used (in the evening or on the weekend for example). Otherwise you would need to use INSPTF to load and apply the PTF's when the system is not in use.

Martin Gilbert.
