                     As part of our ongoing commitment to service excellence, 
                      GXS will be fully integrating the former IBM USA IE Service 
                      into GXS. The changes are part of an extensive program of 
                      service improvements as GXS upgrades the service to modern 
                      facilities. These changes will include a move to new dedicated 
                      hardware and an upgraded network solution with additional 
                      resilience. 
                    The integration of the USA IE Service into GXS may require 
                      you to make a change to your current connectivity set-up, 
                      which will need to be completed by 7 October 2007.  
                    Expedite Base/400 SNA customers will not be able to connect 
                      to the new service and will need this Expedite Base/400 
                      4.6.2 PTF/refresh package prior to the above date. If you 
                      do not have this PTF once the new service is in place, your 
                      connection will fail with the Expedite 29980 error message, 
                      and CPF512A in your job log.  
                    PTF/refresh 4.6.2 also includes the changes from 4.6.1 
                      which rebranded the product from IBM to GXS. 
                     New Customers: 
                    If you are a new customer, install the package following 
                      the instructions in the Programming Guide, or the installation 
                      instructions on the GXS website. 
                    Customers Requiring Only the PTF/refresh: 
                    DO NOT overwrite your existing Expedite Base/400 libraries, 
                      if you are a current Expedite Base/400 customer. If you 
                      only want the PTF/refresh, you will still follow the installation 
                      instructions in the Programming Guide or the installation 
                      instructions on the GXS website, but it is highly recommended 
                      to make a backup of your existing Expedite Base/400 libraries 
                      before you begin the download. It is only absolutely necessary 
                      to replace object IEBASER in the EXPBLIBR program library.
