Creating Fixlets for AIX fileset updates
You can use the AIX Deployment Wizard to deploy fileset updates and program temporary fixes (PTFs).
Before you begin
Before you use the wizard to deploy fileset updates, obtain the filesets that you want from the IBM website.
You can access the AIX fixes from the following link: http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/?productGroup0=ibm/systemp&productGroup1=ibm/aix
To deploy PTFs, you must identify the technology level for which you are downloading the PTF to reduce the size of your download.
About this task
AIX service pack and technology level updates are developed, tested, and released as fix pack bundles. They are intended to be installed as full bundles rather than as individual filesets.
You can either use .bff or .epkg.Z files to create Fixlets for fileset updates or PTFs. Some AIX fixes might have a different format. For example, the fix packs for IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition uses the .sdk format. To allow the AIX Deployment Wizard to use the fix, rename its extension to .bff file. For example, rename Java6.sdk to Java6.sdk.6.0.0.495.bff.
