Re: IBM website

For your V4R5 upgrade, (which should be V5R1):
>memo to users
You can start here:

or end here:

>Hiper ptf's
Think Group PTF's!  I used to pour through SF984vrm for the hiper ptf's but
no longer!
Start here:
http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.NSF/GroupPTFs?OpenView&view=GroupPTFs

>iPTF facility
1)  There are two concepts to this.  One, allows you to download ptf's
interactively, via a PC, to your 400.  Much like SNDPTFORD with DELIVERY
(*LINKONLY).  The other allows you to 'fire and forget'.  Place an order
for your CD's.  IBM sends you 3 emails on the status of each order: a) we
got it, b) we packaged it, c) Airborne has picked it up and you can track
it with this tracking number.  Much like SNDPTFORD with DELIVERY(*ANY), but
with much better customer service.  I use both.  They both have their
purpose.  You might have to be a registered support line customer first.
To use the interactive one you also need something called 'socks' on your
PC.  Something I let the technicians install.  (It's called teamwork for a
reason.)  Once you get registered try:
For interactive:

For Cd's:

(Great help on testing for 'socks', etc)

I have just spent a very unfruitful hour searching for an IBM website to
download the memo to users, Hiper PTFs, install instructions etc for the
v4r5 upgrade - I tried the iPTF facility it just crashes so I don't know
whether it's there or not.
Searches for SF98450 etc has been a waste of time - any ideas ?
