IBM TXSeries CICS 5.1.0.3 PTF APAR README for AIX, Windows, HP-UX and Solaris Systems
The TXSeries(R) Program Temporary Fix (PTF) is a collection of cumulative product patches and recent software fixes. For TXSeries, separate PTFs exist for CICS(R) and for Encina(R). Installing this PTF updates TXSeries CICS to version 5.1.0.3. This README file lists the APARs that have been fixed in the TXSeries CICS 5.1.0.3 PTF, and gives important notes for all supported platforms.
Obtaining the TXSeries CICS PTF

The following are important notes about TXSeries CICS 5.1 on all supported platforms.
To obtain TXSeries CICS PTFs, do one of the following:
This section contains guidelines for using the IBM FixDist service to obtain the CICS PTF. FixDist enables you to download AIX software fixes directly from an IBM anonymous FTP server. You must have the FixDist application installed on the machine in order to obtain the CICS PTF.
You can download the FixDist application by using an anonymous FTP from the (IBM AIX software FTP) Web site as follows:
ftp service.boulder.ibm.com
> class=GramE>login: anonymous
> password: class=SpellE>your_email_addr (example: jdoe@my.comp.com)
> class=GramE>bin
> cd /class=SpellE>aix/tools/fixdist
> get fd.tar.Z (class=SpellE>FixDst tool in compressed tar format)
> quit
This section does not provide complete instructions for using FixDist. For the complete instructions, see the FixDist User's Guide, which is available by anonymous FTP from the (software FTP) Web site. To use FixDist to download the CICS PTF:
