<div><p>Save files allow you to distribute fixes to other systems in your
|
||
|
|
network and therefore allow you to keep your <span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />systems<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span> current
|
||
|
|
with the latest fixes.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A <em>save file</em> is a file that contains data in a form that is correct
|
||
|
|
for transportation to another system. For software fixes (PTFs), a save file
|
||
|
|
contains all the data needed to install (load and apply) the fix, or send
|
||
|
|
it to other systems. In this case, the actions are performed against the save
|
||
|
|
file for the fix, without requiring the original physical media on which the
|
||
|
|
fix was originally delivered. If you want to distribute your fixes electronically,
|
||
|
|
you must have the save files.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The Copy PTFs (CPYPTF) service attribute specifies
|
||
|
|
whether to copy PTF save files and cover letters into *SERVICE when PTFs are
|
||
|
|
loaded from a tape or optical device. PTF save files must be in *SERVICE when
|
||
|
|
distributing PTFs to other systems or when using the Save System Information
|
||
|
|
(SAVSYSINF) command. If you want to copy PTF save files and cover letters
|
||
|
|
when PTFs are loaded from media, use the Change Service Attributes (CHGSRVA)
|
||
|
|
command and specify CPYPTF(*YES).<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If the CPYPTF service attribute is set to *NO, you can copy
|
||
|
|
all or selected PTFs for installed and supported products from a device into
|
||
|
|
PTF save files. You can use the Copy from Media function that is available
|
||
|
|
from <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Navigator</span> or the Copy
|
||
|
|
Program Temporary Fix to Save File (QPZCPYSV) API. You must perform a copy
|
||
|
|
function for PTFs that are received on media; otherwise, you cannot send your
|
||
|
|
fixes to other systems.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Over time, save files and cover letters for fixes tend to accumulate.
|
||
|
|
By cleaning up your save files and cover letters, you can make room on your
|
||
|
|
system for other files. Consider deleting your save files after the fix has
|
||
|
|
been permanently applied, the system has been saved (SAVSYS), and you no longer
|
||
|
|
want to distribute the save file to another system. Use the Delete PTF (DLTPTF)
|
||
|
|
command or the Management Central cleanup function. For instructions, see <a href="rzam8fixcleanup1.htm">Clean up fixes</a>. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
