  • IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 21, Number 2

    January 21, 2019 Doug Bidwell

    I feel a bit like I am having a small flashback to the Year 2000 software bug, but the trip is a little different but still involves the warping of time. As you see in IBM support bulletin MA47217, the Service Action Log within the Hardware Service Manager can’t seem to get over 2018. Literally. If you try to put either “2019” or “2020” in the From or To year fields, it flies up into its own black hole. This doesn’t appear to be affecting any other areas of Service Tools, or logging – so far.

    Here’s the precise shouty message from IBM:

    SERVICE ACTION LOG CANNOT SEARCH FROM OR TO 2019 OR 2020. The Select Time Frame screen of the Service Action Log (SAL) option of the Hardware Service Manager (HSM) service tool incorrectly does not allow “From” or “To” dates with the year 19 or 20. Check out:

    • R730 MF65215
    • R720 MF65214
    • R710 MF65228

    So maybe 2019 will be a better year for everything, as I said last week, except searches in the SAL of the HSM.

    IBM i is affected by networking BIND vulnerability CVE-2018-5741, so check out:

    • R730 SI68707
    • R720 SI68706
    • R710 SI68705

    For further information, go to this link.

    New Links this week: System Order and Apply Firmware Update Access Key (UAK) IBMi OS Managed or HMC Managed Power8 or Power9 Systems

    Here’s a tip: Get the qmgtools, and take a look at Syssnap – there’s a lot of good info there!

    The Guide at a glance: There are no new defectives this week (1/12/19), and we are still going for a new record! Here is the defective PTF rundown, which is the last defective for each release:

    Defect		Defective	APAR	Fixing
    	Date		PTF			PTF
    	--------	--------	-------	-------
    7.3	09/20/18	MH01783		MB04197	MH01798 (New!)
    
    7.2	09/20/18	MH01783		MB04197	MH01798 (New!)
    
    7.1	04/26/18	MF64827		MA47056	MF64936 (Nothing changed here)
    

    Be sure to access the link in the Guide for further details.

    Chordia Consulting announces its first annual 2021 IT Management Effectiveness Survey

    Chordia Consulting’s 2021 IT Management Effectiveness Survey can help clients identify top problem hotspots and priorities for improvement.  There is no charge for survey participation, and clients will receive a personalized, easy-to-understand survey feedback report (a $500 value) right away, together with a full, comparative analysis report when the survey is completed.

    The survey takes only a few minutes to complete using the secure Alchemer survey tool, and is based on RAITH™, Chordia’s proprietary on-line IT healthcheck service and the underlying, proven IT/CBM™ management model.  The focus is on real-world client IT management issues, particularly in the context of today’s IT environment and priorities.  Should clients wish to extend the value of their survey feedback report by conducting a more detailed and complete Chordia RAITH™ IT healthcheck, RAITH is available at a discounted rate for survey participants through June 30 of this year.

    In addition to being offered to IT clients of all sizes, across all industries, and on a worldwide basis, the Chordia survey may also be used by other IT service providers and consulting firms as a means of better understanding the evolving needs of their clients.   Chordia is offering such partners the opportunity to become ‘sponsors’ and invite their own clients to take the survey as a group.  These collective client responses will be bundled into a service provider-specific subset of the full analysis report, offering more focused insight into each sponsor’s existing client population.  Again, this sponsor-specific service is offered at no-charge.

    Whether you’re an IT or business leader looking to learn more about how to improve your IT capabilities in 2021 or an IT professional service provider seeking to understand how better to serve their client base, take a look at Chordia Consulting’s no-charge IT Management Effectiveness Survey – it may be a perfect first step to rebuilding in 2021.

    Take the Survey Now!
