RE: Is Fix Central taking an extraordinarily long time to respond to PTF orders?

Jim,

I've seen this behavior intermittently over the years.
Another reason I use SNDPTFORD delivery format *SAVF.
The other reason is all is everything is done in one step, actually easier to manage for a small number of LPARS.

Yes. Exactly. Does not make sense.

Jim,

I just want to confirm your findings.
SNDPTFORD delivery format *SAVF downloaded immediately.
SNDPTFORD delivery format *IMAGE or FIX Central taking an extraordinarily long time to respond to PTF orders.

I really dislike save files for PTFs etc because they are hard to manage.
Much easier management for image catalogs in the IFS.

That said, it did start to download almost immediately.

Jim,

Just for a test, try the SNDPTFORD with delivery format *SAVF, see if it make a difference.

That is what I tried, although keep in mind SNDPTFORD is just a command line interface to the same systems as Fix Central. Download to an image on the
IFS. It almost seems if there is any prep that has to be done to get the
PTF order it takes forever.

Same thing with ordering it on line.

Doesn't make sense.

Try SNDPTFORD.

It seems like it's taking almost 8 hours for Fix Central to respond with an order number and status for a PTF order. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It gets really frustrating when you're trying to fix a problem that only requires a PTF and you can't get it in a reasonable time.
