Create Firmware Product (CRTFMWPRD)
| Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL) Threadsafe: No |
Parameters Examples Error messages |
The Create Firmware Product (CRTFMWPRD) command creates a licensed program with which to install program temporary fixes (PTFs) for the server firmware. The CRTFMWPRD command is used as part of the central site distribution process to include server firmware updates for hardware platforms other than the system used to create the distribution media. After installing PTFs for the created firmware product, the product should be selected when creating the distribution media to be used when installing on the target system(s). Refer to the IBM i Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/ for more information on distributing software using the central site distribution process.
If the product identifier is not a valid firmware product, or if the release is not valid for the firmware product, the product will not contain any program temporary fixes (PTFs). For assistance in determining the correct product identifier and release, see the Getting server firmware fixes through IBM i topic in the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/index.jsp).
If the server firmware product is no longer needed for distribution, the Delete License Program (DLTLICPGM) command can be used to delete the firmware product. The DLTLICPGM command does not delete the PTF save files. Use the Delete Program Temporary Fix (DLTPTF) command to delete the PTF save files.
Restrictions: This command is shipped with public *EXCLUDE authority.
