October 14, 2020 Doug Bidwell
As we have been reporting since October 6, there are new Technology Refreshes that have been launched, and we have come to find out that the Technology Refresh Resaves, which are an important part of the distribution of IBM i code, will be available on November 13.
Here is the PTF rundown by release:
PTF Groups 7.4:
- HIPERs (High Impact/Pervasive)
- Security
- Performance Tools
PTF Groups 7.3:
- HIPERs (High Impact/Pervasive)
- Security
- Performance Tools
PTF Groups 7.2:
- HIPERs (High Impact/Pervasive)
- Security
PTF Groups 7.1
- There is occasionally stuff here, thanks to extended support. But not this week, again.
New (or updated) links this week: Nothing, too busy dealing with Power9 installations, which is a good thing, but IBM didn’t put the microcode or the operating system on the machines, which is a bad thing.
Tips/Definitions: If you light a fire, before you walk away make sure it is absolutely out. No matter where you are, no matter how wet the ground may look.
The Guide at a glance: There are new defectives this week (10/10/20). Here is the defective PTF rundown, which is the last defective for each release:
