>>> ABOUT THIS INFORMATIONAL APAR
The IBM Network Station Manager license program you order
is 5648-B07. However, please note that all references to
this
product on the AS/400 system and online information (including
the installation command) will refer to the product as 5733-A07.
This informational APAR contains information specific for the
IBM Network Station Manager for AS/400 systems using
Version 3 Release 7. This informational APAR will be updated
on a regular basis and therefore we suggest you order and
read it on a regular basis.
-----------------------------------------------
>>> RELATED INFORMATIONAL APARS AVAILABLE
For additional information, we strongly suggest you also
order Informational APAR II10405 (and all of its'
continuation apars). II10405 is a General
Information apar, reporting tips and known problems
with Network Stations regardless of the AS/400 version.
II10405 also contains an INDEX of the other
AS/400 INFO APARs relating to IBM Network Stations.
Note: Info apar II10566 contains Version 4 Release 1
specific information which can be ignored when you
are using OS/400 Version 3 Release 7.

>>> GROUP PTF FOR NSM (MANAGER)
The list of PTFs documented here contains the most current
set of PTFs available for the IBM Network Station Manager
(5733A07) for AS/400s at OS/400 Version 3 Release 7.
We strongly suggest you obtain and apply the complete
set of 5733A07 PTFs documented here so your AS/400
system is at the latest level.
For your convenience, we have made a Group PTF for
the IBM Network Station Manager PTFs. This way you
can simply order the single PTF 5733A07-SF99081 and
all of the PTFs included in the group (which is the
entire set described in the list below) will be ordered.
Note that SF99081 may only be requested through ECS,
and the PTFs in the list will be delivered on media (CD).
If you prefer to obtain the PTFs electronically, you may
order each PTF in the list individually rather than
ordering SF99081.
NOTE: Applying the latest OS/400 Cumulative
PTF package will not necessarily result
in a complete set of the latest Network Station
PTFs; customers are advised to obtain the most
recent group PTF SF99081 in order to obtain
the latest Network Station code levels.

*** NOTES:
1. These PTFs can all be applied IMMEDIATE.
2. Most of the PTFs in this list contain common
special instructions which
relay the following:
A. Before applying the PTF
DELAYED on an AS/400 using
Version 3
Release 7, verify PTF MF15335 (for
license
program 5716999) is currently applied.
B. After the PTF has been
applied, each IBM Network
Station
using the AS/400 system as its server must
be
restarted (power off and then power on).
3. The PTF SF43413 contains the 2.9.0 and
2.9.2 boot monitor images.
The special
instructions in the PTF cover
letter

Stations to
the desired boot monitor
image. Information
