RE: Fixes from Fix Central

Pete,

Have you tried LODPTF or GO PTF option 8 using DEV(*SERVICE)?

HTH,

Subject: 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
