Re: Fixes from Fix Central

In my case, the PTFs go to QGPL library when I download them from Fix
Central...

I don't remember where for sure the PTFs go when you say download
immediately, but I think they end up on the iSeries. Now if you only DL'd
a couple of PTFs and you know the numbers, you could just do a DSPPTF and
find them. then do a LODPTF and APYPTF as required after reviewing the
cover letters. I have in the past done a DSPPTF to an outfile and then
queried that file excluding statuses perm, temp, superceeded etc to get
the a list of PTFs that need to be loaded and or applied. GO LICPGM option
#50 might tell you something as might  DSPLOG QHST around the time of the
download.

If you are brave you could just so a GO PTF option #8 and tell it the
device is *SERVICE.

Fixes from Fix Central







Fix Central is a blessing and a curse.  So far my involvement with Fix
Central has been to order fixes and use FTP to pull the images down.
This works well, when it does work. This last go-around I tried
something different and I am not sure how to proceed.

Fix Central gives you the option to order by FTP, mailed Media or
download immediately.  I downloaded immediately and the PTF's show
"Downloaded".  The link for "help" takes you to Management Central where
you are instructed to use fixes inventory option to find and apply the
PTF's.  Taking the "Install Software Fixes" option ran through
processing all fixes for all products.  It first showed the status of
"Available" and then went to a status of "No fixes to available to
process".

So, if the PTF's *were* downloaded (and Fix Central has been a little
flaky lately) then where are the fixes and how do I load them?
Unfortunately the help text in Fix Central appears to be no help at all.

I am sure there must be documentation on how to do this somewhere.  If I
can find it, I'll RTFM.

Pete
