<h1 class="topictitle1">Order fixes</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>There are a variety of methods you can use to order fixes: traditional <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> commands, electronic support,
|
||
|
|
Web downloads, and more. Use this topic to determine the best way for you
|
||
|
|
to order fixes in your individual business environment.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Before you begin ordering fixes, you should order and apply the latest
|
||
|
|
cumulative PTF package. When you apply cumulative PTF packages, you reduce
|
||
|
|
the number of fixes that you need to order and distribute later.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Some fix orders require special handling when received at an <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> service
|
||
|
|
provider from a service requester. The following list identifies these special
|
||
|
|
fix packages and indicates what they are:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>MF98vrm: Hardware Service Planning package</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>SF98vrm: Preventive Service Planning package</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>SF99vrm: Cumulative PTF package</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>SF99xxx: PTF group</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>SF97vrm: PTF Summary package</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <em>vrm</em> identifier stands for the version, release, and modification
|
||
|
|
level of the operating system for which you are ordering the PTF package.
|
||
|
|
You can order these PTF packages individually or as a part of a list. You
|
||
|
|
can order most PTFs as part of a mixed list. A mixed list PTF order can contain
|
||
|
|
operating system fixes, most licensed program fixes, and Licensed Internal
|
||
|
|
Code fixes. Only fixes that begin with the prefix SH are not included in the
|
||
|
|
mixed list. Order these fixes separately. Information APARs are coded with
|
||
|
|
the <em>II</em> prefix and are not considered fixes. You must order those separately.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Several methods exist that allow you to order your fixes: voice
|
||
|
|
support, Fix Central, and the SNDPTFORD command. Details are provided here
|
||
|
|
for Fix Central and the SNDPTFORD command. You can find more information about
|
||
|
|
the other methods from the Ordering PTFs for your iSeries™ family
|
||
|
|
system Web page.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|

|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> In some special circumstances, you may want to create your own custom
|
||
|
|
fix package for sending, loading, and applying fixes on servers in your network.

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam8fixobtainweb.htm">Order fixes using the Internet</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Fix Central from IBM allows you to select, order, and download
|
||
|
|
PTFs over the Internet. To use this facility, you must have an IBM<sup>®</sup> userid and
|
||
|
|
password.</li>

|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam8fixobtainsndptford.htm">Order fixes using the Send PTF Order command</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
If you prefer the command interface, you can use the Send PTF Order (SNDPTFORD) command to order individual fixes, multiple fixes, PTF groups, PTF summary, or cover letters.</li>
