Re: ptf download confusion

It went thru the normal checking which ptfs needed, then started the big
download. Finished the download hour later, did the PTF opt 8 to load from

*service, and no ptfs found to load.

Sorry I wasn't more specific - I did select the option to check all the ptfs to send,
and did see it doing that. Have a high speed connect, but it seems like if the
download exceeds a certain "time" it marks it as "mail" and disconnects. The only
reason I say this is in my case, it did the select, started the download of ptfs needed,
put a large # of ptfs ti the qibm directory, but at some point disconnected & marked
the request as "mailed".
I have several more machines to do and wanting to determine if the download
option has such a limit, and with the v5r4 cume getting so large, if updating a machine
at an old cume level, may have to change plans (i love the direct download, so
easy to start remotely).

That has changed. V5R4 now has keywords and you can also download just the
net change from what you have on your system (ptfs) to just send you the
PTFs which you need to get to the current cume.

On my V5R3 box cume PTF's cannot be downloaded. They are always mailed.
Everything except the cumes can be downloaded.

On 10/28 did a sndptford sf99540 with defaults (*linkonly and format

*savf) from a v5r4 system to download latest cume on a remote system.

I'm fairly certain have downloaded cume on this box before. I know have

done

groups.

I checked qibm/... dir and has many mf & si .savf's with date of the

download.

Did a WRKPRB and found the problem generated - answer is PTF's mailed.
Got the cd's today for cume, hiper, DB group.
Question: Is it normal for it to spend an hour downloading ptfs in the

cume (i checked), and then decide to mail them?
