Check the service level of the plug-in
BRMS does not use Fix Packs. The maintenance for the plug-in is shipped concurrently with the BRMS product PTFs. When you load and apply the latest BRMS PTF, it is highly recommended that you update the plug-in on your desktop to keep it at the same maintenance level of the server. After, the BRMS server PTF has been applied, follow these steps to update your desktop.
- Click Start->Programs->IBM iSeries Client Access Express->Service->Check Service Level
- The first dialog that appears is for the Client Access Express service level, click OK.
- If a new plug-in service level is available, a second dialog will appear. Follow the instructions on the dialog.
Check Service Level compares the service level of the setup.ini file on the Desktop with the service level of the same file in directory /QIBM/ProdData/OpNavPlugin/IBM.BRMSPlugin on the server.
If Check Service Level does not appear to be working for you, you can always uninstall the plug-in from your desktop and re-install it.
