RE: Console replacement strategy -- MIDRANGE-L

Does your IBM ID have admin functions? If so, it would be shown on the View my
Authorizations page.

Under "Administrator Functions"-->"Manage Customer Numbers"

Editing my user authority, I see a section named "Application Authorities",
"Electronic Software
Delivery (ESD)" that has "Perform Downloads" box checked.

HTH,
Charles

Well, the Entitlements and Keys tabs work, but the Updates
and Downloads tabs simply say "Not Authorized."

In the Authorization Details only items related to those are
checked and no way (that I see) to change the options.

Maybe because it's Friday the 13th.

And for PTF's just download straight into the catalogue and forget
about the CD's.

It would be nice if one could get the OS upgrades and LPP's via
download. I'm guessing that they are not because, as

large as some

are, it would bring the ftp server to its knees.

I worked for a software vendor that eventually out all package
upgrades on our web site. When one was available, part of

my job was

to notify all of our customers (most via
email) that it was available. We could feel the air go out of the
web site's pipes within ten minutes!

Sure it doesn't change CD's. But with image catalogs I

load the CD's

up in advance for OS upgrades.
