This is a continuation from a thread started on WEB400-L (wasn't appropriate
there anymore).
So I took Pluta's and Haases comments and headed over to Fix Central to try
and download the latest Cume in an effort to get my system completely up to
date. I went through the whole process of selecting Cume and then selecting
HTTP, DB2 and Java related fixes/updates, and that led me to enter my i5's
IP/user/password screen, and that led me to a download page where a 400MB
download started and was _supposed_ to be going to a folder on my desktop.
I watched the download all the way to 98% and then got distracted (my son
wanted to watch Bob-The-Builder on the PC:-). Once I went back to that
Firefox tab later in the evening it wasn't at the download page or wasn't
there anymore (I am not sure).
So here's what I am wondering. That desktop folder which _should_ have had
the downloads was empty upon review - should it be? Do the files
automatically get uploaded to the i5? I didn't notice a difference in disk
usage percentage (still at 66.x%).
I started fishing around and found the "Install software fixes" task in
iSeries Navigator and clicked that. I told it to apply all fixes for all
products and all versions. It is now showing me this screen:

I checked WRKACTJOB and there is a job pounding away at updates, so it
appears to be working, but how can I be sure it is applying the updates I
just downloaded? Or the other side of my brain is saying "how could it be
updating anything else?".
Should I just start the Fix Central process over from the beginning? The
download only took about 2hrs.
Thanks to anyone who can help out this newbie sys admin:-)
