ORDSPTPTF Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Order Supported Product PTFs (ORDSPTPTF) command orders program temporary fixes (PTFs) for supported products. This is done by comparing the PTFs on the system with the PTFs available from IBM service support, and then ordering the PTFs that are:

1. Not loaded
   
2. Not applied
   
3. Not on order
   
4. Not in a PTF save file (SAVF) in the QGPL library

The PTF order request created by this command is sent to IBM service support.

This command detects any PTFs on the system that IBM now considers defective. This command also detects PTFs not on the system that IBM considers High-Impact Pervasive (HIPER). In either case, a message indicating a PTF number and a recommended action is sent to the service provider message queue.

 

Required Parameters

DELIVERY

Specifies how PTFs are delivered.

*ANY: Any method of delivery is acceptable. If the order that is sent to IBM service support is small enough, the PTF order arrives by way of electronic customer support. If the PTF order is larger than the acceptable electronic customer support limit, PTFs arrive by way of tape.

*LINKONLY: Only delivery by way of electronic customer support is acceptable. If the PTF order is larger than the acceptable electronic customer support limit, a message is sent indicating that the PTF delivery failed.

 

Optional Parameters

LICPGM

Specifies which licensed programs are having PTFs ordered for them.

*ALL: PTFs are ordered for all licensed programs.

licensed-program: Specify the licensed program that is having PTFs ordered for it.
