RE: Ordered latest cume

Jeff,

SNDPTFORD has a fallback mode, which will use various profiles.
I would do the DLTSRVCFG DLTCMNCFG(*YES)
CRTSRVCFG ROLE(*PRIMARY) CNNTYPE(*DIRECT) Service configuration *ECS

then rerun the verify.

I was not aware of this until recently when this fixed multiple internment issues I was having with IBM remotes.
I was told that this usually has to be done after each OS/upgrade also.

Paul

Even though the one says not successful, I think I'm OK.

This confirms that Service Agent is configured and working 100%, which
is a pre req for SNDPTFORD, shouldn't matter that you have a 3rd party

When that 600+MB download finished, I had nothing. Really bizarre.

In the meantime, I did a PRTERRLOG that showed 2 informational errors:

Even though the Service Action Log showed nothing, my hardware
service provider suggested I open a PMR. So I did. IBM concurred
it was not hardware related but suggested I install the latest TR
and the latest
cume.
I related my experience as detailed in this thread including my
attempts to download the cume on 7/24. They checked the orders and
said they were rejected.

They suggested I try SNDPTFORD SF99710 again, so this morning I did.
After another 600+MB download, I now have 322 PTFs to load and apply.
Why it worked now and not before I don't know.

Any reason why I shouldn't download and stage the groups (HIPER, DB,
security, etc) and apply all at once?

Thanks.

I tried your suggestion of ordering SF99710. Cycled through a
huge list of "already applied" and "already available" like
before. I now have a message that says:

Well, I gave up on getting that DVD as it's still not here.

So I did a SNDPTFORD PTFID((*CUMPKG)) DELIVERY(*LINKONLY)
REORDER(*YES).

The joblog says:

Message ID . . . . . . : CPZ8C09

Date sent . . . . . . : 07/24/14 Time sent . . . . . . :

Message . . . . : Request for problem 1420547703 complete. PTFs

Cause . . . . . : A program temporary fix (PTF) package has been
ordered.

Either the number of PTFs is too large to be sent
electronically, or one or
more of the PTFs requested is not available to be sent
electronically.
The
list of PTFs you requested is in problem record 1420547703. The
requested

PTFs will be mailed to you.

I said *LINKONLY you %$#@*&!!! Now I'm waiting on another DVD.

You may have a legit reason for wanting plastic (yes they do

I didn't download. I deliberately ordered it via SNDPTFORD
with DELIVERY(*ANY) hoping that it would be mailed, and
that's what the results said.

I wasn't in a rush and that would give me time to permanently
apply existing PTFs, which I have done.

But 10 days?

All,

I ordered the latest 7.1 cume 10 days ago on 7/11. The DVDs
are still not here. I don't remember it taking this long before.
Is this normal now?

Thanks.
