<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Fixes are either sent to your <span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />system<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span> over
the electronic customer support service link or received on distribution media
such as CD-ROM, depending on the size and number of fixes that you ordered.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
<div class="section"><p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If the fixes are sent over the electronic customer
support service link, you can select to receive them as save files or as images.
If you receive them as save files, they are stored in library QGPL. You can
use either Management Central or the GO PTF menu to install fixes that you
received as save files. For fixes received as images, refer to <a href="rzam8fixinstallimage.htm#rzam8fixinstallimage">Install fixes from an image catalog</a>.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /> If you receive PTF save files by any other method, you can use
either the Update PTF Information (UPDPTFINF) command or the Log Program Temporary
Fix Information (QPZLOGFX) API to log the fix information. The fix information
must be logged to install the fix or distribute it to remote systems.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Because Management Central uses inventory for many of its tasks,
the inventory becomes out of date after actions are performed on endpoint
systems that change the state of an item in the inventory. You need to ensure
that your inventory is current before you perform the install fixes task with
Management Central. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
