DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR SE23005 :
-----------------------------------------------
THE HELP FOR THE DISPLAY NETWORK SERVER DETAILS SCREEN,
DISPLAYED FOR OPTION 5 (DISPLAY DETAILS) OF THE WORK WITH
NETWORK SERVER STATUS (WRKNWSSTS) COMMAND, DOES NOT SUPPORT
LINUX SERVERS.
Surely there cannot be 1400+ patches for this?
You have your system setup to get them automatically??
The default is to download directly to your system.
My question is since IBM changed the format of the website, it now looks
like every possible ptf is being evaluated and downloaded to my system.
After I finished I had several hundred ptfs on my system of which only
a few dozen actually were necessary. This is a change from how the
website/process used to work. Before the ptfs were winnowed down to
only what was required for your system.
On the effective equivalent feature, the CL command SNDPTFORD, is
the ability to define whether only requisites that are *REQUIRED
at\for the target system are downloaded, or if all requisites are
downloaded irrespective of what is installed on the target system.
Is there perhaps some similar checkbox or other feature of the GUI
which has been [re]set to download all requisites versus only those
required at\for the target system?

on the new fix central page, after you have selected the groups you
want, make sure you click "Customize your order"
as it says "To customize your order, you can connect to the system for
which you are ordering fixes and validate your download list against
the inventory of the system. PTFs already installed on the system or
for products not supported on the system will be removed from your
order."
