IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 22, Number 38
September 23, 2020 Doug Bidwell
All is mostly quiet on the Eastern and Western fronts of IBM i Land. There are some PTF patches for the Db2 for i database integrated into the IBM i operating system and there are also some High Impact and Pervasive, or HIPER, PTFs that customers need to pay attention to with IBM i 7.4.
Here’s the PTF rundown by release:
PTF Groups 7.4:
- HIPERs
- DB2 for IBM i
PTF Groups 7.3:
- DB2 for IBM i
PTF Groups 7.2:
- Nadda, nothing, zilch.
PTF Groups 7.1:
- Nothing here, and if there is something here at this point, then it must be a very bad thing by definition.
New (or Updated) Links this week:
- The sheet is as it was, no new features.
Tips/Definitions: No matter what, spend a little extra time being friendly this week. We all need it.
