Group PTF for NSM (Manager)

The list of PTFs documented here contains the most current set of PTFs available for the IBM Network Station Manager (5733A07) for AS/400 systems at OS/400 Version 3 Release 7.

It is strongly suggested you obtain and apply the complete set of 5733A07 PTFs documented here so your AS/400 system is at the latest level.

For your convenience, we have made a Group PTF for the IBM Network Station Manager PTFs. This way you can simply order the single PTF 5733A07-SF99081 and all of the PTFs included in the group (which is the entire set described in the list below) will be ordered.

Note that SF99081 may only be requested through ECS, and the PTFs in the list will be delivered on media (CD). If you prefer to obtain the PTFs electronically, you may order each PTF in the list individually rather than ordering SF99081.

Note: Applying the latest OS/400 Cumulative PTF package will not necessarily result in a complete set of the latest Network Station PTFs; customers are advised to obtain the most recent group PTF SF99081 in order to obtain the latest Network Station code levels.

Notes:

These PTFs can all be applied IMMEDIATE.
Most of the PTFs in this list contain common special instructions which relay the following:

Before applying the PTF DELAYED on an AS/400 system using Version 3 Release 7, verify PTF MF15335 (for license program 5716999) is currently applied.
After the PTF has been applied, each IBM Network Station using the AS/400 system as its server must be restarted (power off and then power on).

3. The PTF SF46345 contains the 2.9.7 boot monitor image. Information about the changes to the boot monitor image can be found in document 13505806. To link to 13505806 immediately, click here .

Browser PTFs for Release 2.5+

For your convenience this section provides a list of PTFs available for the browsers supported on the IBM Network Station. These PTFs are for the license products shown, the browser applications are Version 3 Release 2 LPPs, so these PTFs will show as R320 PTFs.

NC Navigator 40-bit 5648B10 - SF45286*
NC Navigator 128-bit 5648B20 - SF45287*

Important Information: As of 11/24/97, if the customer applies the Group PTF SF99081 (R370 and higher), and has the IBM or NC Navigator installed, then the customer must also apply the appropriate PTFs (shown above with an asterisk (*)).

Series 1000 (Model 8362) Network Station

As of 11/21/97, the Group PTF SF99081 provides support for the IBM Network Station Series 1000; this is type 8362. Additional information about the support for the Series 1000 Network Station can be found in the general information document, 13505806. To link to 13505806 immediately, click here .

Note: The Series 1000 Network Stations can boot from a R370 or higher AS/400 (R320 does not support the 8362 model Network Stations).

Java Virtual Machine 1.1.2

As of 11/21/97, the Group PTF SF99081 provides support for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) version 1.1.2. More information about the support for JVM version 1.1.2 can be found in the general information document (insert) .

Browser Support

The PTFs provided in the Group PTF 5733A07-SF99081 includes all of the enablement support for the NC Navigator Browser (License Programs 5648-B10 and 5648-B20). Therefore, be sure to apply these PTFs if you plan on using the NC Navigator Browser on your IBM Network Stations.

To support the NC Navigator, changes to the Network Station Manager configuration files are performed by some of these PTFs. Therefore, once this set of PTFs is on your system you should not remove them unless you have a plan to re-install them (or the most current set of PTFs at the time).

Note: Additional information concerning both the NC Navigator and the IBM Network Station Browser can be found in the general information document (insert) .
