bff package

Guys,

I wana know whats the package name for a .bff file

Example:

Whats the package name for the update file - U833703.bff ?

is there a way to convert it back to regular format?

You can get that information from IBM portal: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1fileset-279828565

Hi,

You can use installp command to get the content on the .bff file :

# installp -l -d U833703.bff

And after use :

# lslpp -f <fileset>

to see if you have already install the fileset.

verdepollo,

Sorry, it works for most bff packages... you were rite.. But it still doesnt list some package details.

Try:

restore -Tvfq U841880.bff

checkout the bffcreate command...

Help -

You can use it to list the fileset in a bff.
