And select Planning
__ 7. Power up your system. The system will complete an initial program load (IPL), which will take up
to 10 minutes to complete.
__ 8. Continue with "Ordering program temporary fixes."
Ordering program temporary fixes
IBM periodically creates PTFs to correct problems, or potential problems found within a particular IBM
licensed program.
When your system was built, it was loaded with the latest cumulative PTF package that was available at
that time. It is important that you continue to install the latest PTFs on your system. IBM recommends
that you order and install the latest PTF package for your system at least twice each year.
__ 1. Order the latest cumulative program temporary fix (PTF) package. For information on ordering the
most current PTF go to the iSeries Information Center, SK3T-4091-04 CD or the Web site
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter
and select Service and support—>Customer service and support—>Set up your connection to IBM
You can continue setting up your system; however, we recommend that, once you receive the
cumulative PTF package, you apply the package.
__ 2. When the package has been applied, continue with the final section of this chapter.
Completing your installation
Your system is ready to use. Congratulations! You can do additional tasks, such as adding software or
hardware, configuring communications, or setting up users, whenever you want to do them.
Keep all materials for use by the service representative in a safe place.
Getting your system working for you
If you want to rename your system to something that is easy for you to remember, complete the
following. Note that renaming your system requires another IPL (turn off and restart). You may want to
rename your system when you have to apply PTFs or when you have a scheduled IPL.
__ 1. Type the Change Network Attribute (CHGNETA) command on the command line:
chgneta sysname(xxxxxxxx)
Where xxxxxxxx can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters.
__ 2. Press Enter.
__ 3. IPL your system again. The system takes up to 20 minutes to complete the IPL.
Note: If your system is in a network, your network administrator (if you have one) will tell you what
your system name should be. Otherwise, choose a name that is meaningful to you.
