Re: [WDSCI-L] Installing WDSCi on multiple PC's

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For installation, copy the contents of all the CDs to a single directory on 
a file server or an external UPS-connect hard drive.

For updates, there are sites that have all the files. This method of 
updating is not well-documented, IMO. You can go to 
<www.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400>, then hit the Support link, then hit the 
"All fixes" link, but it's just a huge list without much help to know what 
to get.

Someone from IBM, please give us some help on this. I know you've responded 
with particulars from time to time, but I could find nothing in the help 
for any way to update, other than the Update Manage, which is NOT an option 
for many of us. And for multiple upgrades, no department wants to waste 
this much time.

On the "All fixes" page I entered "iSeries" as a search term and found 
"inclusive" fix packs for 5.1.0.2 & 5.1.0.3 - nothing for 5.1.2.x yet. And 
I can't tell what to get from the large list - the references are not 
directly to WDSC. And do we also need to look up Eclipse fixes?

I know you're all trying, so please keep up the IBM tradition of PTFs that 
are manageable.
