IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 24, Number 13
March 30, 2022 Doug Bidwell
It’s pretty quiet on the PTF western front. Not that there isn’t always some kind of weird stuff going on . . . because, let me assure you, there is. IBM i customers have all kinds of weird things happening, and that ain’t no April Fool’s joke. But, mercifully, this week, as we end the first quarter and Spring is starting meteorologically as well as calendaricly – yes, I just made that word up – there are only a few things going on.
Once again: To help you with the Log4j security vulnerability, we have created a supplemental spreadsheet as a companion to the IBM i PTF Guide that has the latest information on what you need to worry about and do about it when it comes to this vulnerability. You can download the Log4j spreadsheet at this link. And by the way, it is the same sheet as last week because there were no changes this week, at least of publication date.
