Fix summary lists

 

IBM^® service sends you only the fix that you ordered. If that fix is superseded by another fix, you need to know which superseded fix to order. To make that identification, use the fix summary list .

A fix summary list is a cover letter that contains a list of fixes that are available by IBM licensed program category. The fix summary list identifies the current fix package and what package each fix was included in. The IBM software support center updates the summary list regularly.

You should be aware that when you order a fix, IBM service does not search through the fixes to determine which one is the latest level. For example, if you order a fix that is superseded by another fix, IBM service will send you only the fix that you ordered instead of the superseding fix. You need to use the summary list to identify the fix you need to order. Scan the summary list for fixes that replace the fix in question and then order the fix.

To make sure that you order any fixes for the new release that you had at the previous release, review the fix cross-reference summary list. To order the fix summary list, enter the following command:

SNDPTFORD SF97vrm

The term vrm is the version, release, and modification level. For version 5 release 4 modification 0, use 540.

The following text is an example of a fix summary list.
