Looking ahead to installing WDSCi 5.1.2, I think we need to bone up on how
to stay fresh on PTFs / service packs.  Does WDSCi have its own Group PTF?

No - it has required PTFs, however, that you can learn about at the WDSC website. See below.


Should (/must) it be a standard practice to install the latest PTFs on the
iSeries, and then let WDSCi clients install from there?  (Unlike iSeries
Access, where I can download the latest service pack from the web and the
iSeries box has an older version.)

The updates are not installed on the iSeries, unlike iSeries Access. Nothing in WDSC is installed from the iSeries. Rather, the concept is that there are things on the iSeries that are needed to support WDSC as a client.


Also, I know there was a discussion about XP Pro vs. Home editions.  Two of
us have XP Pro, the other has W2K.  The W2K user attended the WDSCi session
at COMMON last week, and he said there was no mention of OS requirements,
just that even though stated minimum requirements were 768MB of RAM, the
developers were recommending 1GB.  Is WDSCi 5.1.2 supported on W2K?  Key
word is "supported".  I presume that it "works" on W2K.  Please advise.

W2K is no problem. It will work just fine. Needs at SP2 of Win2K

To get the latest info, go to <www.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400>. There is a link to system requirements on the left, and a link to required PTFs on the right. Many of these PTFs are not on any C_U_M_E.
