Re: Size of cume & groups

For my systems that a pretty current I use SNDPTFORD which builds a custom
set to download. I could do this with FixCentral as well. I use FixCentral
to mainly get the Full Sets like just before I do an new system/partition
install.

I also just use the FTP process, although we order anything new every
two weeks so we always have the latest available in case customers need
it. It also has the effect of cutting down the size of the download
into smaller more manageable chunks.

Rob,

You must be Double Stacking some of them. MY current i 7.1 PTF

stack

is 20G smaller and that includes the Web Query group and the most
current DB and HIPER even though they are part of the CUME. Remember
that several groups include other groups for example the HTTP group
includes the JAVA group so no need to order them both. I do ALWAYS
include all requisites and all PTFs because I can't assume any customer
would be at any minimum level.

Personally I download them with FTP scripts to Frankie and haven't

had

a real problem with that in years. Send and forget. OK except for all
the times that Fix Central is down for maintenance, MAN they do a lot of
maintenance!
