It was my impression that SECINT PTFs were shipped in the normal maintenance stream with the description 'INTEGRITY PROBLEM' as the only description (and of course the SUPed apar).
I am not aware if SECINT PTFS go through the RSU process. If they do not, this would be an argument for SMP apply using the PUT level as opposed to the RSU level. As far as I know, SECINT PTFs/apars do not show up in the public searches of IBMLINK (or even "entitled" searches). I have not attempted any searches while logged into the Security Portal. HTH, <snip> Best I can tell, the "SECINT" SOURCEID is available only via the SECINT.ASSIGNS file, available only through the Security Portal. I've never seen a SECINT PTF in any RECEIVE ORDER with CONTENT(RECOMMENDED) (but that doesn't mean there aren't any). Thus, it appears that one is "expected" to subscribe to the Security Portal and to its notification process to learn when a security/integrity problem has been identified and fixed. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
