I'm upgrading from 8.6 to 8.7 --- I want to know if the current CA 2E r8.7 DVD includes 8.7.1 and 8.7.2 enhancements or do I need to download those as well
File downloaded is CA 2E for iSeries 400 CA 2E r8.7 DVD DVD09152017E.iso
Release : 8.7
Component : CA 2E 400 Toolkit
8.7 DVD does not include 8.7.1 or 8.7.2--you would need to download them from support web site. This techdocs should be handy

In fact, you would need to download CUM PTF A and the upgrade should go like this: 8.6-->8.7-->CUM PTF A->8.7.1->8.7.2
