Re: Where are my FixCentral downloads

Have you done a GO PTG Option 8 to install the PTF's?

When you power down/restart are you specifying IPLSRC(B)? You need to
do that.

As to changing defaults - the usual instructions say that if you have
additional PTFs to load, then turn off automatic IPL- something like
that. This would be the case if you had the cume and some group ptfs. So

there is nothing sacred about those defaults.

I have to say, there is ample documentation on the process - yes, you
won't do well by taking dart throws at various links and use google - at

least IMO.

So more good luck from us who are northeast of you!!

That's actually where I went to try and start it to begin with. I

right

click and select Start, then it hangs for about 1 minute (assuming it

is

trying to start) and then it returns control to me and the status is

still

set to stopped.

I am doing my best to bite my tongue, but I shouldn't need to apply

fixes to

my fix process so I can apply other fixes. IBM, your approach to

applying

updates to an IBM i is to complicated!!!!!!!! Doing my best not to

compare

it to the simplicity of applying updates to my Linux machines.

If I am going to do a automatic IPL I do it off hours and with the

in
restricted state.
