<div><p>Find out how to create your own fix package that can be used in
the same way as a fix package that is supplied by IBM<sup>®</sup> service support.</p>
<div class="section"><p>You can encounter situations where you, as the service provider,
do not want to distribute the same fixes to your service requesters. In those
situations, you will want to build your own fix package from CD-ROM that can
be used the same way as a fix package supplied by IBM service support. This example combines
a fix package with individual fixes into a custom fix package for distribution
to other iSeries™ servers
in your network.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you build a custom fix package and save it to
virtual optical media, you cannot span virtual volumes. Your custom fix package
must fit on one volume.</div>
<p>The order of a cumulative PTF package is:</p>
<ul><li>High-impact pervasive (HIPER) Licensed Internal Code fixes</li>
<li>HIPER <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> fixes</li>
<li>HIPER licensed program fixes</li>
<li>A delimiter that divides the HIPER fixes from the non-HIPER fixes</li>
<li>Non-HIPER Licensed Internal Code fixes</li>
<li>Non-HIPER <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> fixes</li>

<div><div class="section"><p>For the following example, assume that you want a tape that contains
all but one (SF00600) of the PTFs from the most recent PTF package received
from IBM service
support, including the HIPER PTFs. In addition, you want to include four individual
PTFs received electronically from service support. These PTFs are MF00050,
SF00480, SF00500, and SF00800.</p>
<p>Because the four individual PTFs were
received from IBM service
support, they already exist in save files in library QGPL. They exist in the
library as object type *file, as shown below:</p>
<ul><li>QMF00050: *FILE</li>

to 6-digit number that identifies each fix file on the CD-ROM. Each release
of a licensed product on the CD-ROM has its own unique set of identifiers.
Each set of path identifiers for the product begins with the number 1 indicating
the first fix file for the product and release. This first fix file may or
may not contain HIPER fixes for the product.<p>To get the path identifier
for each fix file you want to copy from the cumulative PTF package for your
product, use the Copy Program Temporary Fix (CPYPTF) command, and specify
PATHID(*SELECT). The Select PTF CD-ROM File display is shown.</p>
