758 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook
Benefits
After the necessary enablement is implemented for an IBM multiplatform
software product, fix packs for the product can be delivered and installed as
iSeries PTFs. This allows customers to use standard i5/OS PTF commands to
manage many aspects of the fix packs for the software product. They can choose
whether to order and apply IBM multiplatform software product fixpacks using the
process common to all platforms or to order and install them as i5/OS PTFs.
Features
A separate option of Software Integration Assistant is created for each
multiplatform software product that implements the required integration functions.
For the customer to take advantage of the integrated PTF management
capabilities for a particular multiplatform product, both the 5733-IA1 base option
and the option associated with the multiplatform product must be installed.
When a multiplatform product uses the capabilities of the Software Integration
Assistant (IA1) to deliver i5/OS PTFs, more information about ordering and
installing the PTFs is provided. For example, the following multiplatform software
products are among the first planning to use the PTF integration functions
provided by the Software Integration Assistant:
IBM WebSphere Portal - Express for Multiplatforms (5724-E77) V5.0.2
IBM WebSphere Portal - Express Plus for Multiplatforms (5724-E77) V5.0.2
IBM Intelligent Communications Trace Analyzer for
iSeries, Version 1.0 (5733-AZ1)
The IBM Intelligent Communications Trace Analyzer for iSeries, Version 1.0 runs
as an iSeries Navigator plug-in.
