<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The central site distribution process allows you
|
||
|
|
to apply fixes to the central system and distribute them to the target system.
|
||
|
|
You apply fixes only once.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can distribute fixes as part of the software involved in a full-system
|
||
|
|
upgrade or logical partition. In the central site distribution process, fixes
|
||
|
|
are distributed as follows. First, fixes are applied to the central system.
|
||
|
|
When the distribution media is created, fixes are saved to the distribution
|
||
|
|
media and distributed. Finally, when the distribution media is installed
|
||
|
|
at the target systems, the Licensed Internal Code Copy A and Copy B is replaced
|
||
|
|
and licensed programs are installed at the central system PTF level. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Using central site distribution to distribute fixes has
|
||
|
|
advantages.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span> One advantage is that no special PTF installation instructions
|
||
|
|
are needed at the target systems. Another advantage is that the target systems
|
||
|
|
will be at the same PTF and release levels as the central system.</p>
