RE: Where are my FixCentral downloads

If the Management Central server won't start check the QYPSJSVR joblog
for more info.  One common reason this can occur (in a previously
working server) is an expired QSECOFR password. 

As far as your missing fixes go, if you didn't find Save files try
looking in:
/QIBM/UserData/OS/Service/ECS/PTF

The "Load and apply information" section had two links - one for V4R*
and one for V5R*.  So then I did a google search to locate what I
thought would be a V6R* equivalent.

I found the save files in QGPL.  The Management Central server won't
start for some reason (it doesn't give me an error, it just hangs for
about 1 minute in iNav and then returns control to me).

So, I will use GO PTF instead.  The directions don't say to be in a
restricted state or at the console, but it appears that is the way to go
since they don't say to change the defaults and the defaults have me
doing an automatic IPL.
