RE: Applying updates to IBM i

From an old thread, I think you need to have each option of 5733OPS installed, or the 5733OPS PTFs do not come down.

I installed the extra "empty options" so I don't miss any future 5733OPS PTFs

5733OPS *INSTALLED IBM i Open Source Solutions
5733OPS *INSTALLED IBM i Open Source Solutions Option 1
5733OPS *INSTALLED IBM i Open Source Solutions Option 2
5733OPS *INSTALLED IBM i Open Source Solutions Option 3
5733OPS *INSTALLED IBM i Open Source Solutions Option 4

Because if IBM add's a new group for 5733OPS and you've not ordered it yet it will not show up on GROUP_PTF_CURRENCY?
That only compares "groups you already have" with what the current level of that group is at IBM.

I wanted to follow up and thank everyone for their tips and help. Very
appreciated. I ended up going the SNDPTFORD route for both upgrading
5733OPS and obtaining the latest CUM (next I am going after PTF groups and
TR).

SNDPTFORD seemed very simple.

Why go the FixCentral route when you can seemingly do everything with
GROUP_PTF_CURRENCY (to learn what you're missing) and SNDPTFORD (not
involve browser and instead stay entirely on command line)?
