Re: Cumulative PTF package downloaded

I did it with the SNDPTFORD command -- then the files were downloaded.
I'll have to do more checking.

Re: Cumulative PTF package downloaded






Hmmm... not sure how you're going about this, so maybe I'm talking about
the wrong thing. But, I typically order PTFs and then download them to
the IFS using FTP.

In the directory where the PTFs live on IBM's site, there's a file named
ftpXXXXXXX.txt (the XXXXXX changes from order to order). That file
will list the .bin files you need to download as well as their sizes in
bytes.

so you can do the download, then read that file to make sure you got
everything, and that all of your files are completely downloaded (i.e.
the byte counts match.)

We received nine "CUMC....bin" files and four "CUMS...bin" files -- but

I

would be more comfortable verifying this against a list of what should

be

there.

Part of the download should have included such a list, as well as
instructions on installing the PTF's (Cume). I forget the names, but

they

are simple txt files.

Subject: Cumulative PTF package downloaded

For the first time I have received a cumulative PTF package downloaded
directly to the IFS. Is there a reference where I can check the files
received against a list of what should be there so I know that nothing

is

missing?
