Re: 'On order only' PTFs

Similar, but they are external xSeries boxes (with no disk in them) that
are attached via HSL rather than internal PCI cards in the iSeries.

Is that the same as IXS (server)?

A couple of weeks ago something in our iSeries attached xSeries failed,
causing the IXA to disappear. Then our 520 crashed and a 2844 was
replaced. Both problems were fixed by replacing hardware, but WRKPRB had
a few entries, especially about the missing xSeries, that I submitted.
At about the same time the most recent CUME for v5r3 was released.

A couple of the problems showed ANSWERED instead of SENT (WRKPRB status
column). WRKPRB had downloaded about six PTF's (that were also part of
the new CUME) itself. I guessed that the 'intelligence' for doing that
was done by whatever it is at IBM's end that answers WRKPRB submissions.
And I don't think the PTF's were in any way responsible for fixing the
problem we had.
