Asked innocently: and the problem with ordering PTFs via IBMLink is? I download PTFs from IBMLink directly from a CMS userid all the time. During the last CAVMEN meeting, while sitting in the back of the room, I downloaded and applied (to a 2nd level test system) the latest z/VM 530 RSU, and then all the HIPER PTFs as well. All were downloaded using the CMS "FTP" command from the IBM site in Boulder.
