Brad,

I am not familar with SNDPTFORD, have not used that since the days when APPC/APPN was all the rage.

Normally, I would not use *ALLGRPS ... I would use the special SF997xx one for "all other groups", after choosing the SF997xx one for the main "Cume" package for whatever version of the OS you are using.


I normally order fixes via "Fix Central" -- the web site, and when it asks how I want it delivered, I select "e-mail" and it sends me a nice e-mail with links to where I can download the .iso images to load into my image catalog.

In any case, you should be able to install them from QSERVICE, as you always used to do. But I believe you want to install the CUMe PTFs first, then the groups? So, do them from the image catalog, e.g. OPTVRT01, and then, when that is "done" then do the install from QSERVICE?

Let me know how that all turns out.

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

Weird, I just tried it for *ALLGRP and it's working as it normally did
before, downloading Save Files on the fly instead of an image in the
background and sending a message to QSERVICE when it's done.

Still wondering if they will apply the same way, though.

I just updated successfully to V7R4 and things seem to be working fine.

But, I just did a SNDPTFORD for *CUMPKG. All defaults are still there,
such as DLVRYFMT(*SAVF). But instead it downloaded as an image catalog.

Is this something new or a small bug? It's not a huge deal, just
something new to learn I guess on if installing is the same as when they
were received as a save file.

Is installing these PTFs going to be the same as before using GO PTF
option 8 and *SERVICE?
