CL Command List > SNDPTF Reference
Description:
The Send Program Temporary Fix (SNDPTF) command sends a specific Program Temporary Fix (PTF) and accompanying requisites, or a list of PTFs to a specific requester or list of service requesters. Cover letters can also be sent if they are available.
When using the SNDPTF command, you can request that the PTFs be applied on the service requester when the PTFs arrive on the service requester. When requesting that the PTFs be applied, you can also request an IPL of the service requester¡¯s system. The apply PTF and IPL can be scheduled to occur at a later date.
Notes:
1. A change request is automatically submitted that can be viewed to determine the status of this command. You can use the Work with Submitted Change Request (WRKSBMCRQ) command to monitor the status.
2. A maximum of 300 PTFs can be specified.
Restrictions:
1. The apply and IPL functions of this command are only supported when the service requester has the Managed System Services licensed program installed.
2. A PTF save file must exist and be released in order to be sent another system.
3. PTFs that are not marked as delayed are applied immediately. PTFs marked as delayed are scheduled to be applied at the next IPL.
4. PTFs marked as delayed can only be applied permanently if they have been previously applied temporarily. Notice that an IPL would have been required to apply them since they are delayed.
5. If a NODL value is specified, the node list must contain only entries that have address types equal to *SNA.
6. The product, option, and release of the PTF must be supported using the Work with Supported Products (WRKSPTPRD) command.
