Re: Additional software now available with PTF......

If you are looking for job scheduling and more have a look at the Admin/4i
https://www.fieldexit.com/forum/thread?groupid=VC&forumid=MSD
or
https://msd.net.au/applications/admin4i/
It's not free but very affordable!

The PTF removes all licensing requirements for the "FREE" LPP's, which
include Client access. In addition to removing the requirements, it
also removes the keys from the WRKLICINF screen.
However, Client Access V7R1 is checking for the existence of those keys
regardless. I tried adding the key back in after the apply, but that
didn't work. The only solution is to remove the PTF and the keys
re-appear.

I was interested in this PTF in order to use Advanced Job Scheduler.

Heads up..

These PTF's removes the license information for Client Access.

We experienced issues where it breaks connecting with the Client Access
Client V7R1 (spare me the lectures).
We also encountered some ACS clients not being able to connect.

Anyone else experience this?

The new no charge software that IBM includes with IBM i now can be set

to

not need a key by PTF now. (as of 10/10/23)

You'll need PTFs:
7.3: SI83646
7.4: SI83647
7.5: SI83648

IBM even pulled it from V7R1 and V7R2:
7.1: SI84524
7.2: SI83645

Now you just need to load the software and apply the PTFs. (remember

to

apply all the latest groups, etc...)
