Re: Unexpected PTF Package

On my system, PM/400 downloaded 4 PTF's last night.  The message told me to
load and apply them individually.  I speculate that telling me to do GO PTF
option 8, and specifying *SERVICE would have been more expeditious.

did your system order it??
do you have pm/400  (service director) running?
it can download ptf's or if large enough, order the cd
(when it downloads, it will only download the savf,
not load & apply - you still do that). a message will go to
the designated queue, often qsysopr.

Has anyone ever received a PTF package unrequested?  We're on V4R5 and
received one without us ordering it.  I have great reservations against
installing something I didn't ask for -and- especially something without
any
sort of notation as to why it was sent.

The conspiracy side in me thinks this is one way IBM gets everyone to
install the Fast/400 defeater.
