Re: PTFs coming via DVD, not link

I modified for 7.1. I use the *HIPERGRP *DB2GRP, etc where available. For
the other groups that don't have a * name, I change to the correct actual
PTF number. I've actually been using this utility since 5.4.

Did you modify this for 7.1? Mainly, are you specifying SNDPTFORD with
one of the following:
*CUMPKG
*HIPERGRP
*DB2GRP
*BRSGRP
*JVAGRP
*HTTPGRP
*PFRGRP
Or, are you specifying SNDPTFORD with old 6.1 values like SF99610?
On SNDPTFORD is REORDER is at the system default of *NO or did you change
it to *YES? This would cause it to download ptf's you already have.
Useful for updating multiple lpars at different ptf levels but probably
not applicable for you. The additional size may push you to media. Try a

SNDPTFORD PTFID(
(*CUMPKG *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS *ONLYRLS)
(*HIPERGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*DB2GRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*BRSGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*JVAGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*HTTPGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)
(*PFRGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS))
DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) ORDER(*REQUIRED)
REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES)
and see if it tells you it cannot be ordered electronically. Actually,
no, this won't work. Try a separate ptf command for each special value.
Like:
SNDPTFORD PTFID(
(*CUMPKG *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS) )
DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) ORDER(*REQUIRED)
REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES)
SNDPTFORD PTFID(
(*HIPERGRP *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS))
DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) ORDER(*REQUIRED)
REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES)
...
Wow! This is weird! Look at my joblog:
SNDPTFORD PTFID((*CUMPKG *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS))
DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) ORDER(*REQUIRED)
REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES)
CPZ8C09-Request for problem 1119338059 complete. PTFs mailed.
It's ignoring the *LINKONLY!

Your guess is as good as mine. I don't really want them on DVD, though, I
want them downloaded (except for cume's). And they always have been until
recently. I know I could go online and do it, but it's far less
time-consuming on my part to use the little utility I wrote. Here's the
command, prompted:

Order PSP, Cum, or Group PTFs (ORDPTFPKG)

Type choices, press Enter.

Query the latest cum PTF? . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the PSP information? . . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get defective PTFs list? . . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest cum PTF? . . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest HIPER Group? . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest DB2 Group? . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest Security Group? *NO *YES, *NO
Get recommended TCP/IP fixes? . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest JVA Group? . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest BRS Group? . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest HTTP Group? . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest Print Group? . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get the latest ESA Group? . . . *NO *YES, *NO
Get latest Performance Group? . *NO *YES, *NO
Get latest Tech Refresh Group? *NO *YES, *NO

That probably doesn't format very well, but I just change to *YES the ones
I
want, it submits itself to batch, sends me a message for each one it
orders,
and then sends me a message when they're all done. What could be easier?
It literally takes less than 10 seconds of my time. Except now I get
DVDs
instead of immediate download.

All,

I've got a utility I wrote that orders various groups PTFs in batch
via
the
SNDPTFORD command. Some weeks back (it may have coincided with V7R1),
they
started being delivered via DVD the next day instead of being
downloaded
immediately and I can't figure out why. The SNDPTFORD command has
DELIVERY(*ANY), but it's ALWAYS said that in my program.

Anyone know where to look to find out why this is? Some system
setting
somewhere?

Thanks.
