<h1 class="topictitle1">Get and Install PTFs</h1>
<div><p>Obtain the latest PTFs and service packs for your server to avoid
unnecessary service calls and create a more stable operating environment.</p>
<p>Fixes for iSeries™ Access
for Windows<sup>®</sup> are
integrated into service packs, which are packaged into a program temporary
fix (PTF) for delivery. You can download the latest PTF to your iSeries server
to provide a more stable operating environment for the iSeries Access for Windows client,
and to correct known problems. Once you have installed the PTF on your host
system, you can use the <span class="uicontrol">When to check service level</span> function
to distribute service packs to client PCs.</p>
<p>Service pack PTFs update the iSeries Access for Windows installation
image on the iSeries server.
All installations reflect the latest service pack level of the host iSeries server. </p>
<div class="p"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Only users with administrator authority can perform installations,
service pack updates, and upgrades to new releases, however, you can allow
your users to <span class="uicontrol">Access scheduled tasks remotely</span> without
administrator privileges.</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Obtain the latest PTF for installation on your iSeries server</h4><p>Use
the send PTF order (SNDPTFORD) command to order the PTF for your iSeries server.
Since the service pack PTFs generally exceed the size limit to be sent electronically,
you can receive the PTF on media by changing the Delivery Method, DELIVERY,
parameter on SNDPTFORD to *ANY. (The parameter defaults to *LINKONLY.) Alternatively,
use Fix Central.</p>
<p>You can also order a service pack CD electronically,
and place it directly in the integrated file system in a Virtual Optical Device
from which you can install. To use this option, you must prearrange it with IBM<sup>®</sup> Service. </p>
<p>To
learn more about PTF ordering options, see <a href="http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/support/">IBM iSeries support</a> (http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/support/) <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> and select <strong>Fixes</strong> from the left menu.</p>
