Error description
According to the documentation (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.3?topic=e-emgr-check-i fixes-command) the command shows the availability of security interim fixes for the server. When 'emgr_check_ifixes' is run on the system it doesn't find anything: ''' # emgr_check_ifixes Gathering system information +-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------+ p0.mtm=9040-MR9 p0.fw=VM950_045 p0.parnm=is3030 p0.os=aix p0.aix=7300-00-01-2148 +-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------+ Checking interim fixes on the system ... +-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------+ There is no efix data on this system. Searching for AIX security fixes ... +-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------+ No AIX security fixes are required at this time ... ''' The system has no efixes - see the output above. But according to the FLRT page https://esupport.ibm.com/customercare/flrt/doc?page=secur ity&os=73sec it should show several efixes.
Local fix
Issue was resolved by changing the line FLRT_HOST=www14.software.ibm.com to FLRT_HOST=esupport.ibm.com and the line echo "POST /webapp/set2/flrt/query?format=btext HTTP/1.1" > $POST_REQ to echo "POST /customercare/flrt/query?format=btext HTTP/1.1" > $POST_REQ
