Don't know if this will help anybody else out, but I had problems receiving a PTF today using SMP/e orderserver, client and FTP data that had worked since I started here.
Looking at the output, it seemed that the IBM site was no longer using my FTP data dataset. It was looking for /etc/ftp.data, which doesn't exist, and then went to TCPIP.FTP.DATA, which does exist, but is not set up for internet delivery. To resolve this, in my client data, I had to move the data between the <FTPOPTIONS> </FTPOPTIONS> tags BETWEEN the <CLIENT> </CLIENT> tags. Before change: - <FTPOPTIONS>-v -f "//'DATA.SET.NAME'" </FTPOPTIONS> <CLIENT debug="YES" javahome="/usr/lpp/java/J7.1" classpath="/usr/lpp/smp/classes" javadebugoptions="-Dcom.ibm.smp.debug=severe -showversion" retry="3" > </CLIENT> After change: - <CLIENT debug="YES" javahome="/usr/lpp/java/J7.1" classpath="/usr/lpp/smp/classes" javadebugoptions="-Dcom.ibm.smp.debug=severe -showversion" retry="3" > <FTPOPTIONS>-v -f "//'SMPE.CONFIG.FTP.DATA.OPTIONS'" </FTPOPTIONS> </CLIENT> This worked for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
