Joe,

In your Windows Control Panel there is a Client Access option.  Open it and
go to the Service tab.  Change the location to check for updates to your
\\AS400\QIBM\ProdData\CA400\Express\Install\Image

The SP's get their via the normal PTF ordering process.  You can also
download them manually, in which case you can just run the setup.exe
program.

No, I didn't know that.  And I guess this is where I get confused.

--- assuming the "SP" is "installed" on "your server" ---

When I run Check Service Level it tells me it can't find D:\EXPRESS.
Remember, I installed originally from CD and then upgraded from the
iSeries.
I assume that until I tell it differently, it will look to D:\EXPRESS for
my
upgrades.

Now, I can probably point it at the appropriate network drive, which is
what
I assume you mean by "your server".  However, how does the "SP" get
"installed" there in the first place?  Do I download the Service Pack from
IBM and then simply copy it to the iSeries in a folder of my choosing, and
then point to that folder when doing the upgrade?

Joe
