Hi Mark!
In this notification and the one below, IBM makes no distinction between RECEIVE methods. Under normal circumstances, I use RECEIVE ORDER on a daily basis. I did get the following notification from IBM's My Notifications on January 9th: Troubleshooting: PTF encounters IEW2690E and/or IEW2307E during a SMP/E APPLY<https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6391640?myns=z000&mynp=OCSWG90&mync=E&cm_sp=z000-_-OCSWG90-_-E> Due to an error in the PTF Build process, some PTFs were shipped with extraneous data. The additional data can cause LINK EDIT, IEBCOPY, and SMP/E errors during APPLY processing. This error affects PTF service orders from 4 December 2020 through 10 December 2020. There is no other system impact other than being unable to APPLY the PTF. Affected customers are advised to reorder the PTFs and redo the APPLY. When I went back and looked, I had not performed a RECEIVE using any ordering method during that timeframe. Nevertheless, I am going to review this again for peace of mind.

A new record. :) Before I go through the checking / remediation part, does anyone know if the "service orders" also include SMP/E RECEIVE ORDER? It doesn't specifically say it one way or the other. https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6441973 - Regards, Mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
