Hello!

Since AIX 7.2 TL 5 SP 10 and AIX 7.3 TL 2 SP 4 / TL 3 SP 1 I´m experiencing the phenomen that even when I set "Include prerequisites and co-requisite fixes" to "no" I always get the complete package, base level of the TL + the desired fixpack. Is this something anyone else is experiencing?




Thanks in advance,

With kind regards,

Steve

Yes, the same problem for me. The only way is to download the huge package with prerequisities from Fixcentral. It seems to ignore the corresponding checkbox...

Regards Igor.

Hello, 
 
I'm experiencing the same problem.
 
If you check the "Including prerequisite and co-requisite fixes" checkbox and then uncheck it again, the value may not appear to be updated correctly.
 
The workaround is to delete the cookies of the browser you are currently using.
The checkbox will return to its initial state (unchecked), allowing you to download only the applicable FixPack.
Best regards,

@Igor Novotny Thanks for the confirmation.

@wataru nakanishi Thanks for the pointer in the correct direction, I´ve already tried to delete all *.ibm.com Cookies from the browser but the problem persisted, this time I´ve tried it with an "InPrivate Browsing" Window of the browser and it worked like a charm, thanks a lot!
