Applying the Patch:

    Note:  The patch should be applied to any Tivoli Management Gateway
           machines which may service iSeries or pSeries endpoints.

    1)  Extract the patch:

        On a Unix system:

        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
        of this release note, assume that the symbol $PATCH points to
        this directory.

        # cd $PATCH
        # tar xvf 4.0-INV-0040.tar

        On a Windows NT system:

        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
        of this release note, assume that the symbol %PATCH% points to
        this directory.

        > %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env
        > X:
          ^-- 'X' is drive letter where %PATCH% is found
        > cd %PATCH%
        > tar xvf 4.0-INV-0040.tar

        NOTE:  If you are extracting the tar image on a Windows NT
        system, you will find an executable for tar in the TME
        installation on Windows NT under bin/w32-ix86/tools/tar.exe.
