README.TXT - Description of what's in this PTF and important initial considerations for installation. This is PTF 7BA0001 for product 7BARSA1 - Version V5R2M0 (Barsa Automatic Partition Resource Manager). Dated 2003-02-21 Installs changes to library QBARSA. This V5R2M0 release of APRM will work for primary partitions on V5R1M0 or V5R2M0 of OS/400 and secondary partitions on V4R4M0 through V5R2M0 of OS/400. PTF install instructions: ------------------------- You need apply this PTF only in the primary partition. When APRM is restarted in the primary partition, the secondaries will reconnect and the new code will automatically propagate to them (with the PTF *PERManently applied regardless of how you applied it in the primary). The cover letter (included in the PTF) is also available for download. To get the downloadable PTF itself to the point of usability, you will need to create an empty *SAVF on the primary partition of your system (e.g., MYSAVF in library MYSTUFF) and either FTP the attachment (in BINARY mode, please) to it or copy the attachment to the IFS of your iSeries (e.g., into file "/home/7BA0001.savf") and then copy that stream file from the IFS to the save file with a command such as: CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('/home/7BA0001.savf') TOMBR('/qsys.lib/mystuff.lib/mysavf.file') MBROPT(*REPLACE) CVTDTA(*NONE) You can then load the PTF with: LODPTF LICPGM(7BARSA1) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(MYSTUFF/MYSAVF) This will copy the PTF and its cover letter to your system. You may then apply it (after ENDAPRM and cessation of any other function that uses library QBARSA such as WRKAPRM, CFGAPRM, etc. and the OpNav plugin).
