<h1 class="topictitle1">Display an inventory of fixes on your server with Management Central</h1>
<div><p>Use <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Navigator</span> to
collect and display an inventory of fixes on your server.</p>
<p>You can manage your fixes inventory with the Management Central graphical
wizards. For example, use the Compare and Update wizard to automatically compare
a group of systems to a model system, find the missing fixes and extra fixes,
and send the missing fixes to each system and install them. You can launch
the Compare and Update wizard from an endpoint system, a system group, or
from a system in your list of connections.</p>
<p>When you select fixes inventory from the Collect Inventory dialog, software
inventory is automatically selected as well. You cannot select fixes inventory
without including software inventory. Inventory for fix groups is also collected
when you specify fixes. You can also specify whether you want to collect fixes
only when changes have occurred to the fixes data or to collect fixes even
when no changes have occurred since the last collection. This setting does
not affect the collection of fix group data, which is always collected. You
specify this setting from the <em>Connection tab</em> of the Management Central
Properties page.</p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The fixes inventory list shows all products installed
and the fixes contained within them. For each fix, you can view the status
of the fix and other information such as the ID, associated product, release,
or type.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<p>From the fixes inventory list, you can do any of the following:</p>
<ul><li>Run the wizards to install fixes, send and install fixes, permanently
install fixes, or uninstall fixes</li>
<li>Clean up save files and cover letters</li>
<li>Perform other advanced functions, such as canceling fix actions</li>
<li>Schedule when to perform these actions</li>
<li>Copy fixes from media</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Because a collected inventory is used for Management Central
tasks, it is important that you have an inventory that is current; therefore,
collect the fixes inventory on a regular basis. You also need to be aware
that any tasks made from the fixes inventory list are not automatically reflected
in the inventory.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
