Troubleshooting


Problem

5770AF1 product is not included in V7R3 OS install media B_GROUPn_04

Symptom

5770AF1 product is missing from standard V7R3 install media set.

Cause

5770AF1 for release V7R3 is missing from installation media. Originally, the intent was to include the 7.3 version of 5770AF1 on that media, but later it was decided that support for AFP Utilities would cease. The IBM i 7.3 Memo to Users states that at IBM® Advanced Function Printing Utilities (5770AF1) is no longer supported.

V7R2 version of 5770AF1 can be installed and can potentially work fine but it is NOT supported at V7R3 OS.
