Using RECEIVE ORDER

In this method, you RECEIVE the required PTFs and HOLDDATA through a direct internet connection with BMC's Automated Delivery Server.

Required PTF files are obtained along with any PTFs in the PRE/REQ chain that are missing from your environment.

The latest Enhanced HOLDDATA is included, as well. Enhanced HOLDDATA is an SMP/E mechanism that assists in identifying PTFs in error and corrective PTFs, if available.

When using the RECEIVE ORDER method for the first time, you must perform an initial configuration. This involves setting local values for parameters regarding the required certificates and the connection with the client environment. For more information, see Parameters for RECEIVE ORDER.
