IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 21, Number 10
March 13, 2019 Doug Bidwell
All you people looking for some PTF action, you have some stuff to keep you busy this week. So grab the coffee and let’s get going. First of all, there are new HIPERs for IBM i 7.2 and IBM i 7.3, as well as Database group PTFs for IBM i 7.3. And don’t forget to check the defectives below.
As for new links in the IBM i PTF Guide sheet this week, try these on for size:
- System: IBM Administration Runtime Expert (ARE) for i
- PTF: Temporary Storage PTFs – All Releases
And now, for your weekly tip: Before there was the System/32, the System/34, and the System/38, which came out four years earlier than the System/36, there was the System/3 from way back in 1969. Take a look at some real enthusiasts! And here is the link to that System/3 page.
The Guide at a glance: New defectives this week (3/09/19), so much for that record! Here is the defective PTF rundown, which is the last defective for each release:
