RE: IXS W2003 Server SP1

I ran into a bug on the Integration synch step where the 'installed' and
'available' PTF levels got out of whack on several of the IXSs (It would
state 'invalid service condition').  Support seemed to be aware of that
issue and walked me through tweaking those items in the registry.  After
doing so everything was fine.  Probably not something many people will run
in to.

What do you mean "tricky"?  I found the IBM document stating how to do it
and it just says to make sure you're at SI18265 or later, which I am.

I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago.  Then went on vacation. <g>

Thanks!
