Re: Applying Client Access PTF's

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Bruce,

don't do this, even if you remove the read only attribute that 
sometimes is introduced to the files copied to QCA400 like this, you
end up in an unusable PTF "history-log".
You are right, these are "only pc files" to be copied to that location,
but "applying" a ptf package does a little more. At least you get a
proper entry in the ptf database to check against with CAWIN.
Better order with SNDPTFORD SFxxxxx the most recent package and if you
are in urgent need at some of your pcs, apply that web-package manually
to your pcs (perhaps through other shared resources on the net).

Good luck, Philipp Rusch
