Overall I've had real good luck with the process including performance. Then the last week or two I along with a couple of my peers have had RECEIVE jobs time out more than once. Anyone heard of any changes or problems on IBM's end of things?

This is an excellent point. I've not heard any written or verbal statement regarding the service objective for RECEIVE ORDER processing. Personally, I feel the 120 minute timeout is reasonable. Brian On Wed, 6 Jun 2007 13:40:29 -0500, Mark Zelden wrote: But you (nor anyone else,

Bob said his DB2 maintenance ordered via ShopZ took a long time. So does SMP/E use the same servers to build orders as ShopZ? I reordered this morning hoping more PTFs became available over the weekend. I received an email that the order is available for download, but Shop Z says it's still in
