Are CA-Telon maintenance genlevels cumulative?

Clients often call technical support wondering if the CA-Telon maintenance genlevels are cumulative. For example, “if I am running genlevel 9711, can I place maintenance genlevel 0006 right on top of it?” The answer to this question would be no. Only CA-Telon base product tapes are cumulative, not genlevel maintenance tapes. Note, however, that base product tapes are available at each genlevel and using a base product tape you can upgrade from any previous genlevel to the most current. It is required that you install your new CA-Telon base product tape into a new CSI (that does not have a previous CA-Telon 2.4 release), otherwise the target libraries will not get populated during the apply.
