Re: Fix Central Problems?

I know this isn't what you asked, but I stopped using Fix Central a long time 
ago. When I had to open three PMRs because their latest feature "improvements" 
fouled up a lot of other stuff I was forced to use SNDPTFORD and I've never 
gone back.

Of course your iSeries system has to have access to the Internet for any of 
this to work. If so, then the Communications Wizard in OpsNav can be used to 
configure the ECS functions (that normally default to the internal modem) to 
use an internet connection. From then on when IBM phones home, for whatever 
reason, it'll use the TCP PPP connections you set up in OpsNav.

The size restrictions are much looser with ECS than Fix Central, so when 
ordering group PTFs, that would normally have to be downloaded as a CD image, 
they now comes down as a series of save files. The only drawbacks are that 
SNDPTFORD is still restricted to twenty PTFs at a time and on V5R3 if you order 
a cum-pack it will simply ship them on CD. On V5R4 this latter problem has been 
fixed to download only the PTFs in the cum-pack that you don't already have.

  Is Fix Central acting up again today or is it just me?  Anyone else
  having problems trying to download PTFs??
