SNDPRD Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Send Product (SNDPRD) command provides the capability to send a product, packaged with the OS/400 packaging support, from the central site system to one or more managed systems.

Note: A change request is automatically submitted which can be viewed to determine the status of this command. A message is returned identifying the name of the change request.

 

Restrictions

  1. This command is shipped with public authority of *EXCLUDE.

  2. Because this command calls the PKGPRDDST and ADDPRDCRQA commands, be authorized to use these commands. You must have *ALL authority to folders.

  3. If a NODL value is specified, the node list can contain only entries that have a value of *SNA for the address type.

  4. The Managed System Services licensed program and the OS/400 licensed program cannot be specified.

Notes

  1. This command packages the product for distribution if it is not already packaged.

  2. If the product was packaged for distribution before but the PKGPRDDST(*REPLACE) parameter was specified, this command packages the product for distribution again. It replaces the previous packaged product.

  3. When it is requested to send the license key of the product, a record with the license key information must exist in the central site license repository by the time this activity runs.

  4. All the existing records in the central site license repository containing the license key information for the specified product will be sent to the specified managed system or systems, but only those that match the system serial number are added to the managed system license repository.

  LODTYPE(*ALL)  LODID(*ALL)  CPNAME((*NETATR SYS1))
  INSTALL(*YES)  SNDLICKEY(*YES)

Send 1ACCOUN product with base option release V5R2M0 for both the program and the language parts, and install it on the iSeries server SYS1. The license key for this product is also sent and is added to the managed system license repository.

Example 2: Sending but Not Installing an Option 

SNDPRD  PRDID(1CHECKS)  RLS(V5R2M0)   OPTION(0010)
  LODTYPE(*ALL)  LODID(*ALL)  CPNAME((*NETATR SYS2))
  SNDLICKEY(*YES)
