Since IBM changed fixcentral, I don't see a possibility do download fixes for a specific version of a software.

eg. I need to download fixes for RSCT 4.7.x.x and don't know how to. I don't want to upgrade to the latest one 4.8.x.x - I want to stay on 4.7.

Can anyone give me a hint how to achieve this? The system is not connected to the internet and I have no possibility to use suma.

As far as I know, it's no longer possible. You can download fixes based on specified PTF's or full Technology Levels / Service packs. However, you can (sadly) no longer download specific fileset updates.

It's a grave loss IMO.

I'd be pleased if someone can demonstrate if it was still possible.

Thankfully you can still use SUMA to download individual fixes:

suma -x -a Action=Download -a RqType=Fileset -a RqName=rsct.basic.rte -a RqLevel=2.4.7.5 -a DLTarget=/install/RSCT

FYI, if you are updating the AIX TL/ML/SP, you might have to upgrade the RSCT version to 2.4.8 (i.e. AIX 5.3 TL7)

If you check man suma, you'll see you can provide username and password to the HTTP_ FTP_ and HTTPS_ proxy options.

It's not that secure, since your credentials will be visible to anyone, but it's possible.

Your host has no internet connection, or your proxy config is wrong.

Try turning on more detailed messages.

ok, I found it.

Fix Central will also be updated very soon to allow search and download of rsct fileset updates.
This was a hole in the initial change to only download groups (TLs or SPs) because rsct updates
are not shipped with service packs.

I have modified an URL I found for HACMP updates - replaced "latest hacmp" with rsct in the URL and got some results:

http://www-912.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fixcentral/psearch?release=53&searchtype=apar&searchstring=rsct&performaction=search
I hope the search/compare option will back soon on fixcentral as it was before.

Anyone have problems downloading a SINGLE fileset using suma? I'm using the following syntax to no avail :

suma -x -a Action=Download -a RqType=Fileset -a RqName=printers.canlbp-A404PS.rte -a RqLevel=5.3.0.40 -a PreCoreqs=n -a Ifreqs=n -a ResolvePE=Never -a DLTarget=/usr/sys/inst.images/missing -a FilterSysFile=/tmp/lslpp_filter.txt

This downloads a bunch of additional filesets I don't need.
