We use patch/ix for all of our MPE patch installations beginning with
PP4. We have five MPE machines and have not had any problems. We have
also done restarts. We just basically let patch/ix do its thing. We do
review the patches that have gone through the qualifying process. If we
have any questions about any of the patches, we contact the response
center.
