Ordering fixes using the Internet

Fix Central from IBM allows you to select, order, and download PTFs over the Internet. To use this facility, you must have an IBM® user ID and password.

The quickest method to receive PTFs is through the Internet. To receive PTFs from the Internet, connect at least one workstation to the system that is set up to use the Internet. Do not wait until an emergency occurs and you need to request a PTF quickly, only to find you need to register and set up this function. Be prepared: register, set up, and request a PTF to test the process.

Fix Central offers different ways for you to download or order PTFs for your system. For more details, go to the Fix Central Web site.
