Hi Frances.

I just went through this with a customer.
It turns out the "latest" IBM info said to no longer apply the group ptf
but to apply other e-fixes by program instead.  This info came from the
AS/400 WebSphere site.

IF QEJBADMIN fails I think the smartest thing is to try to analyze the
problem.  In my case it turned out the default timeouts in WebSphere were
wrong for our network.

WebSphere has a LONG way to go in how it manages and reports errors ...
It does work well once it is correctly setup and running ....

I can't really say why your order is not complete. If I find someone who
knows, I will let you know.  I am very sorry that these trials and
tribulations are happening. Of course, I know you don't want me to spend my
time tracking down your PTFs - you want me to keep working on helping to
port the next release of WebSphere to the iSeries :-).

One thing though (I didn't say anything before because you had already
placed your order): The WebSphere group PTF will always include the latest
Java400, DB2400, and IBM HTTP Server (NOT powered by Apache) group PTFs.
So you don't need to order those in addition to our group. That is part of
the dynamic nature of our group PTFs.  Once the powered by Apache HTTP
Server is no longer in beta, we will probably include that as well (but no
guarantees as of right now).

To see what a group PTF includes, go to
http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/document/10000031 ,
click on All group PTFS by release, and then expand the link for your
OS/400 release. Then click on the link for group PTF you are interested in.

You will see something like this (this is SF99142): (I am sure the
formatting is going to be really bad once I send this).

Subject:  RE: Can't keep QEJBADMIN running



Frances, I'm really TRYING to play by the rules, but it's getting
difficult.
I sent in the following request for PTFs:

PTF or CUM Tape Number:
SF99142: 450 WebSphere Standard 128 Bit Encryption 5733-AS3 V3R5M0
04/04/2001
SF99105: 450 DataBase 03/22/2001
SF99096: 450 Hipers 04/18/2001
SF99068: 450 Java 02/28/2001
SF99037: 450 Performance Tools for AS/400 03/20/2001
SF99036: 450 IBM HTTP Server for AS/400 02/14/2001
SF99035: 450 IBM HTTP Server (powered by Apache) for iSeries

I also requested the latest cum.  On the 19th I got a response saying
"thanks for your order, if there are no problems, we'll be shipping
shortly".  So I waited.  Monday I got the stuff.  I started installing
today - in fact, I finished the install only to realize I had gotten only
the following:

The cum (C1100450), and the following groups: SF99035, 36, 37 and 105.  I'm
missing SF99068, 96 and 142.  There are order numbers which are almost
contiguous on each CD, starting with B8279025 and continuing with 28, 29
and
32, but no explanation as to how to check on my orders, no notice why some
were shipped and others weren't, or anything.  The cum is a completely
different order, and has a different order number, B8277230.

I should obviously have checked my order before applying, but that's moot
now.  What I don't know is whether I should re-order the group PTFs I
didn't
get, or whether there's a way I can check on them, or what?

I'll wait a day or two and see if the others show up.  If not, I guess I'll
reorder.  At least we're getting there, but it's pretty amusing (in a black
comedy kind of way) that the PTFs I didn't receive are the ones I
definitely
was counting on.
