Playground LPAR upgraded to V7R3, went smooth.
Ordering the PTFs for this LPAR, via SNDPTFORD.
SNDPTFORD for SF99729 worked fined, downloaded as *SAVF as requested.

Searching, I found SI60609 is needed to resolve the issue.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas3SI60609
Loaded and applied SI60609.
Resolved the CPC8C10 issue.
Now having other errors.
Downloads failing after 90+% downloaded.
I followed my notes from IBM for fixing service agent, which resolved similar errors in the past.

I finally got a good SF99730 download, but I'm concerned with the various  error messages above. 
Any thoughts on the group?      
    
Thank You
