Re: PTF 5770TC1-SI54738 and QSECOFR *USE

What is the latest on this PTF, probably should be deleted if not applied.
Has IBM marked it defective or superseded with new PTF?

I'm planning an IPL for his weekend with PTF apply, R&D LPAR.

Per HelpSystems, IBM has now stated PTF 5770TC1-SI54738 is defective.

Got an email from HelpSystems on this. They are working directly with
IBM to see if it's a defective PTF or whether ESEND has an issue.

Stay tuned.

Jeff,

I already searched PTF cover letters at
http://www-912.ibm.com/a_dir/as4ptf.nsf/as4ptfhome
for SI54738. This would have found any PTF cover letters that listed
this PTF as Superseded. For example:
PTF#: SI44334 - IBM TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for i
Licensed Program: 5770TC1
APAR Fixed: View details for APAR SE48980
Release: 7.1
Cumulative Level: C2115710
Superseded by: View fix details for PTF SI54738

Funny thing is, searching that site for SI54738 doesn't list SI54738!
I eventually found the cover letter for SI54738, and it's header does
not yet list a supersede.

Brad,

There's a fixing PTF?

This isn't the SI51172 from a while back that was in error and fixed
by SI52478.
How do I find if there's a fixing PTF for SI54738? Open a PMR?

The error is in the PTF. ESEND obviously uses the QtmmSendMail API

which

was broken by a recent PTF, but is fixed by another one not
included in

the

CUME.

That is an assumption of course. I remember when we were talking
with

IBM

the PTF did cause the problem, but IBM also found some other ISV (I

don't

think it was Help Systems) did have some invalid parameter lengths
in

the

call to the QtmmSendMail API.

Have you tried applying the fix PTF?

I contacted HelpSystems (providers of ESEND) support. At their

suggestion

I did the following:

1) I first set QSECOFR user profile to PUBLIC *EXCLUDE (which is
what

it

used to be) and left it there.

2) I removed PTF 5770-TC1 SI54738, did ENDMSF and
ENDTCPSVR(*SMTP), followed by STRMSF and STRTCPSVR(*SMTP). The

email went out fine.

3) I then reapplied the PTF, did ENDMSF and ENDTCPSVR(*SMTP),
followed

by

STRMSF and STRTCPSVR(*SMTP). The email errored out with the
error I originally reported.

4) To be sure, I removed the PTF again, did ENDMSF and

ENDTCPSVR(*SMTP),

followed by STRMSF and STRTCPSVR(*SMTP). The email again went
out

fine.

So it definitely looks like this PTF is what caused the error.
Now

the

question: is the PTF in error or is ESEND not doing something

right?

Awaiting their response.

After I received a few emails from customers with issues with

I

set

up for them:

http://fieldexit.com/forum/display?threadid=1

Apparently there are more than one issues that happen, and it
isn't

the error described in the posting above.

I also had one customer on V7R1 who applied the fix and DIDNT
have

any

problems (and was using the base MAILTOOL product which uses

QtmmSendMail,

and not MAILTOOL Plus which bypasses it).

Go figure. :)

Rob,

Restricted rename and unlink is already No.

And yes, it's SI54738. Got it right in the subject but not
in the

body.

Sorry about that.

I took the liberty of changing SF54738 to SI54738. That

the

First, look at Charles suggestion.
Then, WRKLNK '/tmp', use option 8 and ensure that
Restricted rename and unlink . . . . . : No
If yes, use 13=Change attribute to change it to No.
If that doesn't sound familiar, search the archives. I
thought

IBM

was

thru changing this at every IPL to suit their whim.
