Fix Central from IBM allows you to select, order, and download PTFs over the Internet. To use this facility, you must have an IBM® userid and password.
The quickest method to receive PTFs is through the Internet. To receive PTFs from the Internet, connect at least one workstation to the iSeries™ server that is set up to use the Internet. Do not wait until an emergency occurs and you need to request a PTF quickly, only to find you need to register and set up this function. Be prepared: register, set up, and request a PTF to test the process.
Fix Central offers different ways for you to download or order
PTFs for your system. For more details, go to the Fix Central Web site.
