Note the changes in

1. Compression/Decompression
2. ODF
3. ODWEK requiring a RACF change.

For now, read the README at the link below and expect more details in the next quarterly newsletter for CMOD.

1. Rollup Multiplatform 9.5.0.3 fixpack.                       
2.  Add support for zEDC.                                       
3.  Add support to ODF to allow customers to specify a wildcard
with substring in the sql statement.  Upon execution ODF will   
substitute in the correct portion of the recipient name.       
                                                               
  A.  The format of the wildcard is:                           
                                                               
  $ODF_RECIPIENT(start pos:length) where start pos is the number
  of the character  to start and length is the number           
  of characters to use.                                         
  (start pos:length) is optional                               
                                                               
  $ODF_RECIPLIST(start pos:length) where start pos is           
  the number of the character to start and length is the number
  characters to use.                                           
  (start pos:length) is optional                               


DOWNLD:                                                           
  This PTF updates the OnDemand AFP Web Viewer and the IBM       
  OnDemand Image Web Viewer.  These are self-extracting           
  files.  These files should be downloaded in binary to the users
  Windows system an run to install the appropriate plug-in.       
  If the user is running a browser while the installation is in   
  progress, then the user must stop and restart the browser       
  before the plugins can be used.  The files are located in:     
  -PathPrefix-usr/lpp/ars/V9R5M0/www/plugins/.  For users         
  installing in the root directory, -PathPrefix- would be "/".   
  For others, it might be "/SERVICE".                             
                                                                 
  afpplgin.exe - IBM OnDemand AFP Web Viewer                     
                - All languages including DBCS support           
  afpplgin.zip - IBM OnDemand AFP Web Viewer                     
                - Zip format for all languages include DBCS       
  imgplgin.exe - IBM OnDemand Image Web Viewer                   
                - All languages                                   
MULTSYS:                                                         
  This ptf must be applied to all systems which                   
  run a server for the same instance. Running servers             
  for the same instance at different fixpack levels               
  may produce anomalous results.                                 
DOCUMENTATION:                                                   
  OnDemand MP 9.5.0.3 Readme Link is at:                         
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27046127         
ACTION:                                                           
  If you are using the OnDemand Web Enablement Kit (ODWEK), then 
  after you apply this PTF, you must delete all of the files from
  the Web Enablement Kit cache directory.  The directory is       
  specified by the CacheDir directive in the arswww.ini           
  file.  The deletion should be done when ODWEK is not active.   
                                                                 
  If _CEE_DLLLOAD_XPCOMPAT=2 was being specified as a WAS         
  environment variable to circumvent an abend in the ODWEK       
  servlet, it should be removed as it is no longer necessary.     
ACTION:                                                           
  This SYSMOD changes the way the Java ODWEK API generates docids.
  After installation of this SYSMOD, verify that users of the Java
  ODWEK API have READ access to the CSFOWH profile in the CSFSERV
  class.

Well this is interesting.

The 9.5.0.3 PTF requires the following LE fixes:

PI33378: ADD SUPPORT FOR ENTERPRISE COBOL V5.2

Note:  you don't need COBOL V5.2, just the following LE updates:

PTF#     Reason Listed       Size-KB PUT  Hiper FMID     
-------- ------------------- ------- ---- ----- ---------
UI25310  ORDERED               1749  1502  NO   HLE7780

By the way, you see the requirement for the updated LE when you try to APPLY the PTF for 9.5.0.3.
 
 IEW2456E 9207 SYMBOL IGZXBSP1 UNRESOLVED.  MEMBER COULD NOT BE INCLUDED
 FROM THE DESIGNATED CALL LIBRARY.
 IEW2456E 9207 SYMBOL IGZXRTN UNRESOLVED.  MEMBER COULD NOT BE INCLUDED
 FROM THE DESIGNATED CALL LIBRARY.

The LE PTFs add those members.

It contains info not in the HOLD ACTION within the PTF.

Note this item from the upgrade doc:

Just a reminder when applying service that crosses the 9.5.0.3 boundary:

As part of the rollup, the way docids are formed has been
changed to prevent them from being inadvertently manipulated.
This functionality makes use of the CSNBOWH ICSF callable
service. All users (preferably groups) of these docids need
to have READ access to the CSFOWH profile in the CSFSERV
class.  Lack of access will be indicated by ICH408I messages
for CSFOWH CL(CSFSERV ).
This currently impacts users of the Java ODWEK API.
