>>> ABOUT THIS INFORMATIONAL APAR
 
The IBM Network Station Manager license program for
AS/400 Version 3 Release 2 you order is 5648-B06.
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

This informational APAR contains information specific for
the IBM Network Station Manager for AS/400 systems using
Version 3 Release 2. 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 its' continuation
apars: II10676 & II10938).  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, several of the PTFs have special instructions which
pertain only in the event the PTF is applied immediate.
Therefore, to avoid following all of these instructions,
it is suggested you apply all of the PTFs delayed and then
perform a normal IPL at a convenient time.
 
-----------------------------------------------
 
>>> 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
for AS/400 systems at OS/400 Version 3 Release 2.
 
We suggest you apply the complete set of 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 Group PTF
can be obtained by using the ECS ordering process.  You
may simply order the single PTF 5733A06-SF99080 and
all of the PTFs included in the group (which is
the entire set described in the list below) will
be sent to you on hard media.  However, if you prefer
to obtain the PTFs electronically, you may order
each one individually rather than ordering the Group PTF.
 
If you plan to apply these PTFs DELAYED, be sure
that PTF MF16618 for product 5763999 has already
been applied.

   NOTES:
 
    1. These PTFs can all be applied IMMEDIATE.
 
    2. Most of the PTFs in this list contain common
       special instructions which specify each Network
       Station should be restarted (power off and then
       power on) after these PTFs have been applied to
       the AS/400 system.
 
    3. The PTF SF42228 contains the 2.8.AE boot monitor
       image.  The special instructions in the PTF cover
       letter contains the steps you should follow in order
       to update your IBM Network Stations to this boot
       monitor image. Additional information about this
       boot monitor upgrade can also be found in the
       Gerenal Information apar: II10405 (and/or one
       of its' continuation apars).
 
    4. The PTF SF42944 enables the command
       SAVLICPGM for 5733A06 to complete
       successfully.
 
------------------------------------------------
 
>>> BROWSER SUPPORT
 
The PTFs provided in the Group PTF 5733A06-SF99080
include all of the enablement support for the Navio
Browser (License Programs 5648-B10 and 5648-B20).
Therefore, be sure to apply these PTFs if you plan on using
the Navio Browser on your IBM Network Stations.
 
To support the Navio Browser, changes to the Network
Station Manager configuration files are performed by
some of these PTFs.  Therefore, once this set of PTFs
is on your system you should not remove them unless
you have a plan to reinstall them (or the most current
set of PTFs at the time.)
 
NOTE:  Additional information concerning both the
Navio Browser and the IBM Network Station Browser
can be found in the General Information APAR:
II10405 (and/or its' continuation apars).
