RE: Which group PTFs do we need?

["John Brandt Sr." <pgmr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't mean from the iPTF site. I meant from the AS/400-iSeries system. If
your system stops at the firewall, but can get out on it's own request
through port 80, it could be done.

I believe when using the IBM iPTF site to generate an order for a CUMulative
PTF package, I think they are already doing something like this, because it
requires me to enter the IP address of the system and a userID and password
on that system, so that IBM can connect to that machine... I believe it
polls the system to find out what LPPs are installed and then generates a
CUMe PTF package that contains only PTFs for those LPPs. (but I could be
mistaken...)

I don't think this comes into play with the "Group PTFs" however ... :-o
