CL Command Reference - ADDPTFCRQA
CL Command List > ADDPTFCRQA Reference
Description:
The Add Program Temporary Fix Change Request Activity (ADDPTFCRQA) command adds an activity to a change request description which performs a PTF distribution function.
Restrictions:
1. You must have *CHANGE authority to the change request description and *EXECUTE authority to the library.
2. The PTF must be for an iSeries product package using the System Manager licensed program. The PTF must be supported using the Work with Supported Product (WRKSPTPRD) command. Software redesigns can be managed for other types of systems by using globally named objects on the Add Object Change Request Activity (ADDOBJCRQA) command or by using Add Change Management Activity (QNSADDCM) API.
3. A PTF save file must exist and be released in order to be sent to another system.
4. A PTF can only be retrieved from a single managed system.
5. If a NODL value is specified, the node list can only contain entries that have a value of *SNA for the address type.
6. If the destination node does not have IBM SystemView Managed System Services installed, only the send action is available. The activity is considered successful when the PTF is sent, not when it arrives.
7. If you are distributing a PTF and the distribution queue is set to *SNADS in the Work with Service Requesters (WRKSRVRQS) command, you must have *USE authority to the Send PTF (SNDPTF) command.
8. If you are distributing a PTF and the distribution queue is set to *SVDS in the Work with Service Requesters (WRKSRVRQS) command, you must have *USE authority to the Copy PTF (CPYPTF) command.
Notes:
The following notes provide information on how the command works.
1. Authorization to the product specified on the activity is not verified until the activity runs.
2. All conditions must be met before the activity runs.
3. The start times indicate when the activity can be started. Actual start times can be later due to network and system delays.
4. PTFs that are not marked as delayed are applied immediately or during the next IPL. PTFs marked as delayed are applied during the next IPL.
5. PTFs marked as delayed can only be applied permanently if they have been previously applied temporarily. Because they are delayed, these PTFs would be applied during the next scheduled IPL.
6. PTFs are always removed temporarily except Vertical Licensed Internal Code (VLIC) PTFs which are removed permanently.
Examples:
None.
