IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 21, Number 39
October 2, 2019 Doug Bidwell
First up in this week’s IBM i PTF Guide, there is a new Security Bulletin for multiple vulnerabilities in Node.js that affect the IBM i operating system. See this link here for details. There are not PTFs for these vulnerabilities as yet, so just install the latest RPM of Node.js as a precaution.
What else is new this week? We have added a “Prtr Links” tab to guide, so check it out. Our thanks to Bryce out in Portland for this recommendation.
New (or Updated) Links this week:
- JAVA: Using WRKJVMJOB to Dump JVM Data on the IBM i OS
- DAMAGE/DMG: Check Damage on Physical Files (CHKPF)
- DAMAGE/DMG: Recovering Records from Damaged Files
- DAMAGE/DMG: Damage Detection Tool
- DAMAGE/DMG: QMGTOOLS — VFYSTG Utility for IBM i
And now for this week’s tip: In ACS, do File > Export Configuration. . . on a regular basis to back up your configurations.
