Install iSeries Access for Web PTFs

After iSeries™ Access for Web has been installed on the server, the latest available fixes should also be loaded and applied.

iSeries Access for Web Service Pack PTF information can be found on the iSeries Access for Web Service Packs (PTFs) Available page. On this page you can determine the latest available PTFs for iSeries Access for Web, other potentially related PTFs, and how to obtain the fixes.

Note:

Using the server commands Load PTF (LODPTF) and Apply PTF (APYPTF) to install the iSeries Access for Web PTF does not enable the fixes delivered in the PTF. Always review the iSeries Access for Web PTF cover letter before loading and applying the PTF for instructions that are required to enable the fixes. End of change

iSeries Access for Web portal pages

The CFGACCWEB2 command is used to deploy iSeries Access for Web portlets to the WebSphere^® Portal environment. The WPDFTPAG(*CREATE) parameter of the CFGACCWEB2 command creates default iSeries Access for Web portal pages and populates the pages with iSeries Access for Web portlets. When the portlets are used, they have to be configured first. The configuration data for the portlets is associated with the pages where the portlets exist.

When an iSeries Access for Web PTF for the WebSphere Portal environment is installed on the server, the CFGACCWEB2 command is run to redeploy the portlets to the WebSphere Portal environment. It is recommended to specify the WPDFTPAG(*NOCREATE) parameter on the CFGACCWEB2 command. This parameter will redeploy the iSeries Access for Web portlets but will not re-create the default iSeries Access for Web portal pages. This preserves configuration and customization settings for the iSeries Access for Web portlets and portal pages. If WPDFTPAG(*CREATE) is specified on the CFGACCWEB2 command, the default iSeries Access for Web portal pages are recreated and all portlet configuration information associated with those pages is lost.
