Re: PTFs coming via DVD, not link

Did you modify this for 7.1? Mainly, are you specifying SNDPTFORD with
one of the following:
*CUMPKG
*HIPERGRP
*DB2GRP
*BRSGRP
*JVAGRP
*HTTPGRP
*PFRGRP
Or, are you specifying SNDPTFORD with old 6.1 values like SF99610?
On SNDPTFORD is REORDER is at the system default of *NO or did you change
it to *YES? This would cause it to download ptf's you already have.
Useful for updating multiple lpars at different ptf levels but probably
not applicable for you. The additional size may push you to media. Try a

SNDPTFORD PTFID(
(*CUMPKG *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS *ONLYRLS)
(*HIPERGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*DB2GRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*BRSGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*JVAGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*HTTPGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*PFRGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS))
DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) ORDER(*REQUIRED)
REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES)
and see if it tells you it cannot be ordered electronically. Actually,
no, this won't work. Try a separate ptf command for each special value.
Like:
SNDPTFORD PTFID(
(*CUMPKG *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS) )
DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) ORDER(*REQUIRED)
REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES)
SNDPTFORD PTFID(
(*HIPERGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS))
DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) ORDER(*REQUIRED)
REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES)
...
Wow! This is weird! Look at my joblog:
SNDPTFORD PTFID((*CUMPKG *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS))
DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) ORDER(*REQUIRED)
REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES)
CPZ8C09-Request for problem 1119338059 complete. PTFs mailed.
It's ignoring the *LINKONLY!
