Re: Fix Central Problems?

If you install PTF SI19413 you will be able to download complete CUMs and 
Groups electronically in SAVF or IMAGE format.

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.
