October 23, 2019 Doug Bidwell
Some weeks are slow, and some weeks we have lots to share. This is one of those busy weeks in PTF Land. First up, we have the following message to share: APAR MA47979 – INCORROUT – HLIC – 94XXDASD – HIPER. This Hard Disk drive code has a bug! You can read this link for details. It’s not on cume yet, but see the following fixing PTFs:
- R710 MF66663
- R720 MF66664
- R730 MF66665
- R740 MF66666
We also learned at TechU there are new announcements with a planned Availability Date of November 16, so stay tuned.
A Security Bulletin has popped up revealing multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK and IBM Java Runtime that affect IBM i. Get more information at this link.
The IBM i Group PTF numbers containing the fix for these CVEs follow. Future Group PTFs for Java will also contain the fixes for these CVEs.

Finally, here is a tip for the week: If you open Navigator for i on multiple partitions/systems, you can drag and drop between them.
